RJ Podeschi, dean of the Tabor School of Business said, "星空无限传媒 University has been playing a tremendous role in amalgamating the practical and theoretical, the personal and public, science and the arts to serve students and citizens from every sphere. With the conviction that these values are still needed, and with our founder's vision in mind, the Tabor School of Business鈥揳 unique wing of 星空无限传媒 University, has carved its identity as one of the most coveted destinations for business studies across the U.S."

Cooperating on team projects and simultaneously learning about each other's culture, 星空无限传媒 international students take a variety of business and non-business courses alongside domestic students. Generally, first-year Tabor undergraduates are engaged in building business plans as a part of Business Creation, an exclusive experience for first-year students which enables them to acquire an entrepreneurial mindset. This strategy helps students understand all of the functional areas of business and effectively collaborate in teams.

"Through an innovative concept called Performance Learning, the Tabor School of Business has a rich history of integrating theory and practice, which ultimately enables the students to build their resumes while they are in school and leave the university prepared to lead," Podeschi said.

Tabor School of Business courses involve real-world projects where students work on client consulting projects for local businesses, non-profit organizations or even international companies, and their performances are evaluated not just by the professors, but by the client, as well as the third party. The first semester in the Tabor School of Business culminates with a Business Plan Competition and is evaluated by judges from the community, where students get the chance to win a voucher that will offset the cost of international or domestic university-sponsored travel.

Management information systems students are engaged in client consulting work, and last fall 2021, 星空无限传媒 students promoted a web application that dynamically displays the university organizational chart and employee directory.

One of the newest and most popular concentrations within numerous MBA programs that the Tabor School of Business offers is Data Analytics. Through courses such as visualizations, data mining and business forecasting, students not only gain a strategic perspective on business but also learn how to use and apply those methods for analyzing data to make better decisions both at a personal and professional level.

"Our students in an international business course have helped the government of Ecuador on local economic policy. In a human resources course, our students have built a performance management system for a dry cleaning and restoration company and for an information systems course, they have built a database application for recording and reporting the demographics of the homeless population to the federal government," Podeschi said. "In addition, students across various disciplines run their own tech consulting company in MU Performance Consulting, which students primarily develop, design and host websites for local organizations."

The Tabor School of Business also has a dedicated internship coordinator who works in coordination with the students to identify placement opportunities and assist them accordingly. It is necessary for all undergraduate students to have an internship to graduate, and each internship has learning outcomes as well as career readiness programs built-in with the course. Tabor faculty play an integral role in mentoring and teaching students individually, advising them on their career plans, connecting them with the institution's vast alumni network and maintaining those connections after graduation.
