Departments

The college’s six academic departments – Accounting, Economics, Finance, Information Systems and Decision Sciences, Management and Marketing – directly facilitate the academic programs, while also supporting opportunities for student professional development and career readiness. Each of these departments actively seek the insight and connections of professionals in the relevant field to provide thought leadership and strategic advising, career connections for students, and lecturing or speakership opportunities. Each department should be contacted individually for information on such opportunities.

Centers and Institutes

Serving as the connection between academics and industry, Mihaylo College’s Centers of Excellence support focused mentoring, networking, research and advising for the Southern California professional community and connections and applied experience with subsets of business for the college’s students and alumni. Each of the college’s centers and institutes rely on the expertise and support of business professionals and corporate/organizational supporters to fulfill their mission. Each entity should be contacted individually for information on ways to get involved.
