I knew Business Administration would help me take the next step in the jobs I’ve worked at — restaurants, at ski resorts, all in the tourism and hospitality industry. Having a Business degree will help me become a general manager and move higher up the ladder. I think the broadness of Business Administration means I can go anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world, and work any kind of job I want.

I got my internship through my professor — just giving me a little shout-out in class about it, including who to contact and when. I might not have gotten that kind of attention at a different, bigger school. Everything here is on a personal level.
