R U Handlin’ Business?

Make the most of your student experience with our new Student Checklist ! Think of it as your to-do list before you graduate. And when you check one off the list, capture the moment and share your photo (or selfie!) with us on social media. Don’t forget the hashtag! #aumbiz

AUM’s College of Business fosters a collaborative learning environment promoting innovative, effective business practices that positively impact our stakeholders by preparing students for successful careers.

Dear Students,

“Your success is our business,” is more than just a slogan to the faculty and staff here at AUM. We sincerely want you to be successful and, to that end, are busy updating and adding new student services to benefit you. However, we need your help.

Did you know that only 50% of US students who enter college actually graduate, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education? This is a disturbing statistic, especially since college graduates will live longer, be healthier, and make more money over the course of their lifetime. The benefits of an AUM college education are far reaching.

In order to make that dream a reality, we need you to be fully engaged in the AUM experience. We need you to:
1. Utilize Degree Works

2. Register with Warhawk Jobs, CareerBeam and CareerShift

3. Utilize the services provided by the College of Business, Office of Student Engagement & Success, and the University.

4. Participate in College of Business student activities

We know your schedules are already jam packed, but this is important. Each of these services will help you to maximize the full value of your AUM education and move you closer to that coveted college degree. If you have any questions, or need help, contact the Office of Student Engagement & Success at [email protected] or 334-244-3479.

In closing, we just want to know one thing – RU Handlin’ Business?

Sincerely,

The Office of Student Engagement and Success

Full-time – all the time!

Oct. 3, 2014 – Many of you, as myself, are full-time students and maintain a full-time job. The College of Business has a great class schedule which includes a large array of evening and night classes, but the university as a whole is lacking, especially in the English department. Most students try to get pre-requisite courses out of the way their first & second year, which was the case for me too. But, there was one class I could never schedule in the evening, I’m not sure what it is about the class and why it isn’t offered later during the day. The class I struggled schedule was Survey of English Lit 2. This semester, I thought I lucked out and found a section that started at 3:35. Only to be let down once again, the section was cancelled due to low enrollment. This forced me to schedule the class right slab in the middle of the day from 12:45-2:00. Luckily, I am fortunate enough to have a job which lets me work around my school schedule, but many students don’t have this option. One of my classmates is also struggling with this problem. He is set to graduate next semester but they are only offering a Survey of Lit class in the morning or during the day. I feel the English department should take into consideration the large number of students that are employed and offer class to better suit our needs.
