Small Business Lab
Business Education with a "Hands-On Difference"  

  • Business Administration, Accounting, Human Resource Management and Management Information System Majors: Learn Business By Doing Business


Accounting, Business Administration, Human Resource Management and Management Information System Majors:

You can learn business better by actually doing business. As a student in our department you will consult with the students who are running their own business in the Small Business Lab.

Individual students may help a student business because of their particular expertise and interest in the business. Entire classes could also become involved. For example, an upper level accounting class could, as a part of the requirements of the course, set up the accounting system for a firm and oversee the accounting activities of the enterprise.

Experience the Real Thing

Got a question? A theory? A new idea? Don't just talk about it. Try it. Rather than studying financial statements from a book, accounting students can use actual records from student businesses to learn about income statements, balance sheets and cash flows. Marketing students will create marketing plans and advertising campaigns. And human resource management students will develop policy manuals and write job descriptions.

Learn First Hand

The Small Business Lab offers an opportunity for you to run your own business under the guidance of experienced business faculty. Whether you're pursuing a degree in Accounting or MIS, Business Administration or HRM, you'll learn first hand what it takes to succeed.
