The Robert H. Smith School of Business sponsors a rigorous academic living-learning experience for students interested in business under the University of Maryland's College Park Scholars Program . Experts in fields such as management, marketing, accounting, and finance introduce students to the various functional areas of business.
Students learn appropriate manners and dress for different business situations.
Everything from handshaking to business cards is discussed. Students get hands-on instruction from Business Reference Librarians who teach them how to use the latest technologies to research both public and private companies. Students visit and work at sights such as the DC Central Kitchen and a local Food Bank to learn about the relationships between business and society. Managers responsible for these organizations talk with the students when they are performing their assigned work. Curriculum Dr. Roxanne Lefkoff-Hagius, Associate Director, teaches the special section of Business 110B, Introduction to Business, that BSE students are required to take.
