Hands-On Learning

A major component of our educational model includes hands-on learning built right into the curriculum. You’ll gain valuable business experience and build a professional network long before you graduate.

You have the drive. JWU helps you acquire the knowledge, skills and, most importantly, the experience to excel in business.

Faculty
Hands-on learning starts in the classroom, where your teachers are business professionals with valuable insight and expertise. They'll work closely with you in small classroom settings, where you'll learn industry best practices and train on career-specific tools and software.

Internships
As an intern, you’ll jump start your career by gaining on the job experience that sets you apart from the competition. Best of all, you’ll make networking connections with leading employers. You'll work with your faculty advisor and our Experiential Education & Career Services team from your first term to create a career plan, and make it happen.

Professional Development
Career fairs and networking events with employers and alumni are just the start. Our business clubs, like Collegiate DEX and Future Business Leaders of America, connect you with guest speakers, leadership training, and diverse professional development opportunities.

Study Abroad
Hands-on learning extends across the globe for business majors. Our Study Abroad program allows you to learn and train with business experts in all over the world. You’ll gain crucial perspective in your field and make lasting career connections.

Community Service Service isn’t a hobby for business majors; it’s a chance for you to become a leader. You’ll work on targeted community service projects that develop the skills you need to thrive in your industry, while giving back to your community.
