Update to previous cycle's plan for continuous improvement There has been a noticable increase in the number of internships that studeints majoring in MGMT and MKTG have received this past year.  The exact numbers are not readily available.  The number will be easier to track in the future with the new 4389 course number for internships.

There has been an increase in scholarship opportunities for MGMT and MIS majors.  This is due to the Project Management Institute's (PMI) support.

  • Continue to encourage faculty to participate in COBA's efforts to engage it's students.  Such as COBA Career Fair, COBA Alumni Discussion Panels, COBA Courtyard Cookout, COBA tailgates, Executive in Residence, etc.
