Let BBA Career Management give you a firsthand glimpse of the companies and environments many people in the business world call home.
Career Course
McCombs focuses on helping you achieve your career goals right from the start. While many institutions wait to put you in contact with their career management departments, one of your first McCombs classes will be taught by a career coaching professional.
During this course, you’ll learn employer trends, examine in-demand skills, and familiarize yourself with our majors. You’ll also develop your resumé, learn to write a cover letter, and receive a mock interview in preparation for recruiting.
Meet Potential Employers
- The McCombs Career Expo allows you to mingle with more than 180 employers.
- Our Etiquette Dinner will give you the Do’s and Dont’s of business outings and the chance to meet 5-7 employers.
- You’ll have over 150 chances to meet and give your resumé out to employers across industries at Employer Info Sessions.
- We offer over 100 on-campus events only for Texas BBA students. From case interview workshops, to investment banking prep, to industry-specific employer engagements, these exclusive events are great opportunities to network and build your personal brand with over 800 companies.
Major-Specific Career Coaching
Our major-specific career coaches meet one-on-one with students to discuss options and polish job search and interview strategies. Major-specific career coaches are a key factor in helping McCombs students successfully land internships and full-time jobs.
As a McCombs undergrad, you can also take advantage of our Peer Coaching program, where you can talk about internships, career paths, and recruiting with a student who’s already been through the process.
Required Internship
All BBA students complete an internship before they graduate. Not only are internships a great way to gain valuable work experience and test the waters in your chosen career industry, they are an excellent opportunity to meet new people and expand your network.
Leadership Opportunities
BBA Career Management provides programs to help you become the leaders of tomorrow.
The BBA Women’s Council, McCombs Diversity Council, and Target Your Future are BBA Career Management’s sponsored programs with weekly seminars, company visits, and professional mentorship opportunities. Take advantage of these programs and take what you learned in the Career Course to the next level.
