Experiential Learning

Experiential learning, active learning, learning by doing. At Southeast, we believe your education is enhanced by experiencing what professionals in your discipline know and are expected to do.

Here, you'll have opportunities to start your own business, design and build secure software solutions, create interactive AI games, or manage an actual financial portfolio. You can choose to compete in the highest caliber of competitions, collaborate with faculty and fellow students on a research project, design a marketing communications campaign, or take part in a global think tank.  

Learning Spaces

The Harrison College is filled with professional caliber learning spaces designed to prepare you for the professional business world.

Dempster Hall houses the departments and most courses for the college, providing you with access to current technologies and learning environments.

Greene Center

Entrepreneurship at Southeast is much more than a few business students pitching startup ideas - we're harnessing the creative talent of students across campus who experience real innovation and entrepreneurship. Leading the way is the Douglas C. Greene Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, supporting students as they pursue business startups or the next big idea.
