The Student Professional Development Program (SPDP) is a series of four non-credit workshops designed to give you the skills you need to present yourself in a professional manner throughout your career. Workshops are informative, hands-on, and practical.

SPDP Workshops

  • Business Professional
  • Professional Image
  • Professional Etiquette
  • Professional Networking Event (Completion of the first three workshops is required before attending this final event.)

All College of Business majors are required to complete the workshops; students with business administration, entrepreneurship, management or marketing minors are required to complete the workshops as well.  Students are strongly encouraged to do so by the end of sophomore year as completion of the workshops is a prerequisite requirement for several upper level BUSCORE courses; the prerequisite will not be waived. The first three SPDP workshops must be completed prior to attending the Professional Networking Event as this workshop builds on materials covered previously.

Reminder: Completion of the Student Professional Development Program workshops is a prerequisite for the following courses: MKTG 330: Principles of Marketing, MGMT 340: Organizational Behavior, and OSCM 341: Operations Management. If you plan to register for any of these classes next semester, you must complete the entire Student Professional Development Program (three workshops and the Networking Event).

If your registration date for the following semester falls before the end of the current semester’s workshops, you will be given conditional permission to register for these courses, but you will be dropped from the courses if you do not complete the workshops.
