Rather than requiring a series of general courses, we embed key competencies such as civic engagement and creative problem-solving into the courses you want to take. The BLUEprint ensures you both the depth and breadth needed to stand-out in today’s job market because three out of four business leaders say being well-rounded is more important than your major.
