Student Community

Your peers are an integral part of your education. When you look to your left or right, you’ll see another curious, driven student with his or her own unique education, career, and life history to share. To foster the ties among our students, we provide networking opportunities, student organizations, and intensive experiential learning that brings each cohort together within our four Carlson Enterprises.

"I was looking for a smaller program, one that had more collaborative learning and teamwork. After visiting the campus and meeting students, it really clinched it for me."
