Educational Travel Opportunities
The School of Business believes in the importance of travel as a part of students’ educations. Whether a study takes advantage of a study abroad opportunity or an opportunity to learn in the US, learning away from home base provides educational enrichment. A sample of recent students’ educational trips include the following:
- Santa Fe, New Mexico – to support the creation of the State of Connecticut’s first student chapter of the Conscious Capitalism organization
- Boston, Massachusetts – to support the School’s Treasury Management Certificate program, the only one of its type in New England
- Europe (multiple countries) -- to support study at the international conference for Designing Innovative Pedagogy for Complex Accountancy Topics (DIPCAT)
- Japan (multiple cities) -- to support foreign exchange and short-term study during spring break of 2017 and 2018, hosted by an SCOB alumnus
- Morocco (Marrakesh and other locations) -- to support participation in World Merit 2019 and engage in work in collaboration with the United Nations’ Sustainable Goals for Economic Development
Learning Outside the Classroom
“Co-curricular learning” refers to learning that happens outside of the classroom. Our students have multiple opportunities to engage in co-curricular learning, opportunities that often leads to jobs. Internships are a good example of co-curricular learning. Examples of exclusive internship programs the School has developed include Webster Bank (in Treasury Management), Yale New Haven Hospital System, Modern Plastics and the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce. Another exclusive program is IMPACT Greater New Haven. Yet another of the School’s exclusive relationships is the one with Webster Bank which, together with the School provides a class and an internship in treasury management, and an opportunity to take a certifying exam in the field. As of 2020, six students completed the internship, passed the test, and had been offered full-time positions.

Well-Qualified Faculty
Unlike at many larger institutions, graduate students do not teach Business School classes. Rather, well-qualified faculty, most of whom have doctorates and many of whom have industry experience, teach all classes in the School. Full-time professors teach the majority of the School’s courses.
