Prepare for a Career in Business, Finance and Leadership
Pitch your business ideas to real-world investors, manage a portion of Saint Louis University's endowment or immerse yourself in the world of international business β€” all as part of your undergraduate degree.
ΘνΓΓΙη has a dedicated college for business β€” the Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business, named for the ΘνΓΓΙη alumnus and billionaire businessman who founded ComPsych Corporation β€” but you'll also find paths to leadership and management-related careers across ΘνΓΓΙη's academic offerings.
Graduate Ready for Your Career in Business, Finance or Leadership
More than half of ΘνΓΓΙη students complete an internship before they graduate, and with eight Fortune 500 companies nearby β€” not to mention rankings from Forbes as one of the top cities for start-ups and Lending Tree as one of the best cities for young entrepreneurs β€” St. Louis is a great place to find one.
When you actually go in to interview for a job you can not just say 'Oh I know the theory behind it,' you can say 'Yeah, I saw the theory in practice.'"
