WHAT IS THIS COURSE? The Department of Marketing at the College of Business and Union Pacific are teaming up to offer this 3 credit-hour applied special business projects class on Wednesdays, 8-10:50 a.m. in HLH 018 during the Fall 2020 semester.
WHY SHOULD I APPLY? This is an opportunity to build your résumé and experience working with a large company on real-life projects. The class is comparable to an intense internship, in which you are working with top management at Union Pacific over a 15-week period.
