I picked LSSU for the small class sizes and beautiful outdoors all around. Having the ability to decide my own hours as well as the thought of running a business I have passion for is why I chose my major.
Taylor
I chose Business Management after having the privilege to manage a local business for two summers. I loved the difference I could make in others lives, and how I could help them to reach their full potential and inspire them to do better.

The small campus atmosphere and small class sizes help make learning more personal.

I chose marketing because of its diverse field of work. I can work as a researcher, salesperson, creator, or designer. My degree won’t hold me back in any field I choose.
