Each semester, approximately 15 Fortune 500 companies are invited to the class to give presentations about entry-level opportunities with their firms. Other topics include the interview, resume writing, dual-career couples, the work force, affirmative action, minorities in the corporate world, etc. Each student is required to give a class presentation covering a business area of interest followed by class discussion over the topic.
