The College of Business Administration accepted its first class in 1995, and in the past two years about 430 students have graduated from the BSBA program. CBA students have all the advantages of a small college in addition to the benefits of a large, research university.
Students receive ongoing feedback on professional skill development.
Business classes encourage critical thinking and active learning. Many of these classes are taught by Katz faculty, respected scholars and teachers who hold students to high performance standards. The link that forges this integration of theory and practice is the internship experience. Over the years, Katz has established partnerships with leaders in local and national organizations. Many of these leaders are Pitt alumni who solicit CBA interns to work in their firms.
