One of the first things students notice about the MSP Scholars Program in Business is the supportive atmosphere. One-on-one meetings, tutoring sessions, business presentations by corporate sponsors and social events all work in tandem to keep scholars academically on track, a fact readily reflected in their performance. Additionally, the MBSP assists scholars in their quest to carve out a niche in business fields where historically underrepresented populations been traditionally excluded.

The majority of our graduates are now employed in excellent positions nationwide, while many have gone on to earn MBAs, Masters of Accounting, and law degrees.
