The Foster Education

Practical, relevant experiences both in and out of the classroom prepare you for today’s competitive job market. Challenge your thinking, expand your perspectives, and receive the support you need to achieve your aspirations. The Foster Education can help you Be More than you imagined.

Be More – Focused. Start taking business courses in the first semester of your freshman year. Unlike other universities, our freshmen entry strategy let’s you jump start your business knowledge and offers more time to explore your interests.

Be More – Comprehensive. Business ethics, diversity, teamwork, technology, and global activity in the workplace are emphasized throughout the core curriculum. At Bradley, you are training for a career, not just your first job.

Be More – Global. Learn how the world does business and experience it – first hand. Our top-ranked International Business major and our unique Global Scholars Program offer comprehensive business-oriented international experiences.  From two-week excursions to interim programs or a full year of study, Bradley offers a flexible range of study aboard options in Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

Be More – Engaged. The real-business experiences, scholarly achievements, and global perspectives of our talented faculty will inform and energize your learning in the classroom. Professors with doctoral degrees in their disciplines and three executive-in-residence faculty members share a commitment to excellence in teaching and research. Our faculty put business theory into practice through consulting; conducting local, national and international management and marketing seminars; and maintaining a variety of professional contacts.

Be More – Successful. As a freshman, you are paired with a faculty member in your major who will serve as an academic advisor, providing advice and direction for your educational and career goals. Counselors at Bradley’s Smith Career Center will also help you identify internship possibilities, develop a career plan, and help you land your first job through job fairs, resume preparation, and interview tips.
