    Center for Career & Professional Development

    The College of Business Administration offers its students the option of participation in experiential education. Students work with the University's Center for Career & Professional Development. The co-operative education program provides graduates in the College of Business Administration with 8-12 months of professional experience prior to graduation. Undergraduate students must have a minimum of 63 credit hours, a 2.5 GPA, and have successfully completed CEC 3000 before starting their first assignment. Students normally complete two Co-op assignments with the option of a third. These assignments are approximately four months in length and begin at the start of each semester. By choosing either the alternating Co-op track or the parallel Co-op track, students have the opportunity to integrate the Co-op experience into their academic program without delaying graduation. Under the alternating track program, students complete two semesters of courses and one semester of employment during the three semesters of the year (Fall, Winter, and Summer). Under the parallel track, students may have a part-time employment position and take courses part time concurrently.

    Full-Time Placement

    Students also work with the Career Center to find employment upon graduation. The Career Center offers training in resume writing and interview skills. Opportunities are available for students to meet with prospective employers. Students should register early with the Career Center which includes an online resume. Their site keeps students informed about campus visits and other activities.

    Academic Integrity

    As a Jesuit and Mercy institution, the College of Business Administration at the 香港六合彩开奖 strives to uphold the highest ethical standards. We expect students, no less than faculty, staff, and administrators, to behave in a professional, honest, and responsible manner. Violations of academic integrity weaken the quality of an educational institution and degrade the value of its degrees. The policy described herein applies to all students enrolled in the College of Business Administration (CBA) and other students taking CBA courses.

    Definitions*

    Cheating by acts of commission or omission is unacceptable. Misrepresentation in academic work includes but is not limited to:

    • Submitting the same paper, project, or presentation in more than one course without the explicit permission of the appropriate instructors.
    • Any form of plagiarism, especially failure to acknowledge ideas or language taken from others, and submitting work prepared by others.
    • Submitting research that misrepresents the way in which the work was completed.
    • Collaborating with others on projects expressly intended to be completed individually.
    • Copying, transmitting, or sharing examination materials without authorization of the instructor.
    • Deliberately making false accusations of academic misconduct against others.

    Process

    Any member of the academic community may report an alleged violation of academic integrity in writing to the instructor of record for the course or the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs. Students who are aware of violations of academic integrity are expected to report those violations immediately. A student who has questions about academic integrity is encouraged to seek guidance from his or her Discipline Coordinator or academic advisor.

    Within 7 days of becoming aware of the issue, the instructor will document the alleged violation, notify the Assistant Dean, notify the student of the accusation, and request a meeting with the student within the next 7 days. The student in question will not be permitted to withdraw from the course unless the allegation is determined to be false. If the student chooses not to schedule a meeting or fails to attend a scheduled meeting, (s)he will be found to have violated the academic integrity policy. If, as a result of the meeting, the faculty member determines that a violation occurred, (s)he will impose an appropriate sanction, notify the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs in writing, and provide a copy of the letter to the student. The student will have one week in which to appeal the decision to the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs. The Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs will review the documentation, discuss the case with the parties involved, and make a recommendation to the Dean for final adjudication. If it is determined that a violation of academic integrity has occurred, the incident will be documented in the student's permanent file. The College of Business Administration reserves the right to impose sanctions beyond those imposed within the course.

    Penalties

    Penalties within a course for breaches of academic integrity may include, but are not limited to:

    • Written reprimand
    • Failure on an assignment
    • Reduction of final course grade
    • Failure of a course.

    Other penalties for breaches of academic integrity may include, but are not limited to:
