Business Mentor Program
During your first year, we begin pairing you with a business mentor. Together you network at professional events and mixers, and visit businesses and organizations related to your field of study. Throughout your education at HU, your mentor will guide you, simultaneously building your confidence and your contacts.
Internships & Projects
Our staff works closely to match you with regional businesses, so you can connect your class work to related work experiences. We are the only university in the nation that utilizes a top executive search and staffing firm to facilitate internships for undergraduate students. Arcus, LLC, interviews you, helps with your resume preparation and even markets your skills to prospective employers. This gives you access to exceptional internship opportunities that lead to long-term employment after graduation.
Corporate faculty
Our academic professors challenge you to strive toward greater knowledge in your chosen field and we connect you to “corporate faculty” who come to campus with extensive professional expertise in our competitive fields of study. They may be CEOs, project leaders, research scientists, or clinicians. Their experience and wisdom enables you to see how your education applies to the career world as they guide you toward a successful transition to the workplace.
