Student Life

Campus Activities

The M.B.A. program has a very active M.B.A. Student Association. The purpose of the association is to provide graduate business students with opportunities to develop leadership skills and to prepare for professional positions in the private and public sectors.

This organization provides an excellent means for M.B.A. students to interact with other students, faculty, and community leaders. Students are also given the opportunity to discuss and initiate positive changes within the M.B.A. program. Special meetings are scheduled with leaders from the civic and business community of greater New Orleans.

Just as important, the M.B.A. Association ensures that while we all work hard in the program, we also have a lot of fun. The M.B.A. Association is responsible for planning or assisting in the planning of the many social events that M.B.A. students enjoy. These include community service and networking events. Membership is open to all M.B.A. students.

Career Placement

The goal of getting your Master of Business Administration is to open doors in your career, which would otherwise remain closed. The College of Business is dedicated to supporting the placement activities of all students. We offer individualized assistance with résumé and cover letter development, career strategies, and personal development.

In the last few years, M.B.A. students have been placed at a variety of local, national, and international businesses. Here is a short list of just some of the companies where our students have been successful:
