Student Opportunities
Student Advisory Council
The faculty recognize students who have exemplified good character, academic accomplishment, and potential for leadership in the Nielsen College of Business. Students are selected for invitation to join the college’s Student Advisory Council (SAC). The purpose of SAC is to provide a platform for communication from student leadership to the faculty and college leadership. SAC members meet on a monthly basis each semester where they discuss campus and community engagement.
Neilsen Accounting Society
The Nielsen Accounting Society exists to prepare students for careers in the profession of accounting by creating a sense of community, a hunger for knowledge, and an opportunity to interact with accounting professionals. Anchored by its monthly student-led meetings featuring outside speakers and student presentations, students learn about internship and career opportunities, volunteer for service projects, and build relationships with fellow students and business leaders. Through the Nielsen Accounting Society, students host the annual “Accounting Day” at CSU. Additionally, more advanced accounting students serve as paid coaches to tutor other business students in the introductory accounting courses.
International Travel
The Hans A. Nielsen College of Business provides enriching international learning opportunities to its students. These opportunities include semester-long study abroad and annual international travel.
For more information about study-abroad, please contact the Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Studies, Professor Mark Crawford (mcrawford@csuniv.edu).
“I have been able to travel across the world with professors and mentors and learn how to develop marketing strategies, pray for and with full-time missionaries, and make relationships with people from completely different backgrounds. This is irreplaceable.”
