During my internship, I’ve been able to work closely with business analysts, supply chain analysts, and inventory managers. I’ve enjoyed the learning and networking opportunities of this internship, and from this experience I am even more interested in becoming a business analyst.

CAREER PATHS
Beyond class sizes, curriculum, and faculty, Valpo’s unique value extends beyond the classroom and into the real world by offering one of the few assessment centers in the country. Valpo’s College of Business Assessment Center evaluates student performance on realistic business tasks while assessing problem solving, communication, leadership, teamwork, and interpersonal skills. College of Business students participate in the Assessment Center activities during their freshman year in conjunction with BUS 100 and their senior year in conjunction with BUS 475. Students are provided percentage-based scores to show how their performance stacked up against their peers, all while comparing how much they grew from their first year to final year of college. The assessment and results provide students with real-world experience and a strong addition to their resumé.
