We offer the same premium services, career planning and resources to all students. Here’s what’s different for BSBAs:
Advising
Career advisors specialize in delivering one-on-one career planning strategies.
BSBA Students They’re market-savvy professionals who are passionate about helping students chart their career path. Not just any career – the right career. The one that will allow students to apply the research-driven thinking they’ve learned at Olin in ways that will transform them – and the companies they choose to join.
Career Education

Student Club Engagement

Alumni Resources
The career services staff works hard to keep in touch with alumni around the world. Olin alumni are on campus frequently to conduct mock interviews, serve as guest speakers and program panelists, and act as mentors through the Weston Career Center's ProNet contact database or social media (ie., LinkedIn).
