Undergraduate programs:

Our undergraduate programs are marked by a “hands-on” approach evident in everything from project-oriented assignments to our required internship program to yearly participation in our nationally acclaimed Assessment Center. At Valpo, our focus is to develop exceptional leaders through values-based education and real-life experience.

Valpo’s undergraduate business programs develop successful leaders with a three-pronged approach:

• CBA block core: This block of critical core courses gives you an overview of important business principles and tools.
