Student Opportunities
Business Management gives you lots of opportunities to shape your education, build skills, and focus on what interests you the most.
Brown Advisory Student-Managed Investment Fund
The Brown Advisory Student-Managed Investment Fund Program offers a unique opportunity for students to develop and utilize their investment skills by providing real-life investing experience. Originally founded as the Alex. Brown Student-Managed Investment Fund and recently renamed to honor the fund’s founder’s firm, the program oversees a sizable student-managed fund invested in equities, and includes interaction with investment professionals and other activities.
Enactus: Share your skills
In the Washington College chapter of Enactus, students work together to share their business, marketing, and managerial skills with the community.
American Marketing Association student chapter
The American Marketing Association is the world's leading association of marketers,
with over 30,000 members. The AMA supports research, develops ethical standards, and
encourages the practice of responsible, innovative marketing. Through its more than
350 collegiate chapters — including our chapter at Washington College — the AMA encourages the study of marketing both within and
beyond the classroom.
Internships and Externships
Internships put you in working businesses, and let you make connections between the classroom and the workplace. Most of our majors do at least one internship during their undergraduate days, to explore careers, make connections, and enrich a résumé. Business Management students receive credit for internships by taking BUS 390, our internship course. We offer it throughout the year (in the summer, it’s an online course).
Externships are short-duration work experiences, especially for first- and second-year students Check out the College’s externship program.
The Center for Career Development is where to start your search for internship opportunities.
Study Abroad
Among Washington College's many study-abroad opportunities, the most popular for Business
students is BUS 330, our short-term study abroad course offered every year, at the
start of summer break. This program, which finishes at the start of June so it doesn't
interfere with summer internships, is led by Washington College Business Management
faculty, and explores the commerce, culture, and history of different parts of the
world. Find out about our next edition of the course, a trip to Spain in May 2024!
