Working Together

The Howard University School of Business understands the importance of involving corporate partners in the education of our students. Corporations also understand that it is imperative that they have input in the education process to ensure that there is a reliable supply of employees who have the necessary skills and knowledge to be productive. As such, the School of Business continues to engage corporate partners in our ongoing quest to provide a superior business education to our students. The School of Business will continue to build on existing partnerships as well as establish new ones.

The School of Business has established numerous corporate partnerships through the 21st Century Advantage Program (21 CAP).  21 CAP has served as a catalyst for significant changes in our educational processes, as well as how major corporations recruit our students. The result is a learning environment that involves teamwork at all levels of the undergraduate business curriculum beginning at the freshman level.

Through the School of Business Executive Leadership (SBEL) Honors Program, our corporate partners assist us in providing a superior and specially designed academic experience for those undergraduate students who have demonstrated superior academic and leadership potential. With an increasing pool of well-trained, well-rounded executives who are committed to community service in the field of business, our students are exposed to every level of corporate leadership.

The School of Business Center for Professional Development (CPD) was established in 1995 to provide graduate placement services, professional skills modules, company information sessions, and a Speakers' Bureau to all students regardless of their specific disciplines. CPD works with our corporate partners who are looking to recruit new employees by providing unparalleled access to our students.
