The Professional Development Series is a co-requisite to the two introductory courses, BUS 201 and BUS 202, of the BBA program. This program acclimatizes students to the culture, calling, vision and overall structure of the Beedie School of Business.

BUS 100 introduces students to the mission and values of the Beedie School of Business through an experiential learning experience. This course prepares students for success through development and integration of academic skills and mindsets while building a network necessary for success in academic, social, and career related pursuits.

In this middle checkpoint of the BBA program, students will develop an academic plan by expanding their understanding of the relationship between business courses and the three themes (Social Responsibility, Innovation and Global Perspective). Through a series of learning activities, students will begin to understand where they are on their personal academic journey and reflect upon the opportunities they would like to pursue as part of their upper division course work and co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities.

I want to work for companies that don’t just make a profit, but try to make a positive impact in the world, and of course, are in fashion.

I'm working on starting EDGE SFU to support students who might not have the same opportunities as other students. The goal is to help to provide financial support, scholarships, and job postings. It’s a lot of work getting this club off the ground, but I enjoy helping other students.

A lot of students don’t follow a traditional path through university, and that’s ok.

The most important thing is to get involved. It’s up to you to make this as enriching as possible, and all you have to do is raise your hand to volunteer or participate in events and clubs.

The flexibility SFU Beedie offers enabled me to combine my interests in my joint major in international business and economics, but also offered so much through experiential learning and opportunities to get involved. There is so much that the time passes very quickly, so it’s important to make the most of it while you can.

You will never know unless you try. There are always going to be opportunities to add value – it's just a matter of how you view it. Whether it is signing up for a case competition, or events and information sessions, or reaching out to senior students to ask them about their experiences, make the most of it and get involved.
