Tashkent, Uzbekistan

I got a chance to study in the U.S. and had earned an Associate Degree in Science. After learning about all of the subjects, I finally chose to become an accountant. Shenandoah is special because of  knowledgeable and helpful professors and welcoming assistants.  I like the approach this university takes to my courses.

Internship Program

In today’s competitive employment environment, relevant work experience can mean the difference between landing your dream job and settling for making a living. The business school’s Internship Program gives you relevant, real world professional experience to prepare you for a fulfilling and successful career. When you graduate, you enter the workforce with the education, business skills and work experience to help you land the job you want.

Jenna Rampale '18, ’19 has completed two internships at Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida, through Disney’s College Program.

She has a big dream — to become the CEO of the Walt Disney Company — and she’s not leaving it up to wishing upon a star. She is chasing her dream with the single-minded tenacity of a Disney heroine.

Shenandoah’s BBA program teaches you a lot and gives you a lot of opportunities. I went to Madrid my freshman year to learn about international business and I worked at the Olympics in South Korea, so I’m learning on an international scale. At Shenandoah, you learn how things happen, and you’re asked ‘What would you fix?’ It’s an education for real life, and because of that, I feel prepared.”

Fritz Polite | LAMP Director

I found LAMP to be a great way for me to reestablish a connection with the School of Business. The program has allowed me to leverage my industry insight to help accounting students navigate through they academic career and ready themselves for a career in public accounting.”

Accomplished Faculty Mentors Make The Difference

There’s a special bond between business school students and their professors. Students enjoy close professional relationships with academically and professionally experienced faculty who mentor them in and out of the classroom. This remains a hallmark of a Shenandoah University business education. Students also benefit from our executive-in-residence who works with both professors and students to broaden the student’s focus beyond the classroom.
