The Hill School and Levene GSB set students up for success
At the Paul J. Hill School of Business and Kenneth Levene Graduate School of Business (Levene GSB), faculty and staff make it their business to enhance the learning experience of all students.
The Hill School is an undergraduate school for students interested in obtaining a diploma or Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), while the Levene GSB is a graduate school for students working toward a Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Human Resource Management, or Master of Administration in Leadership. Recent surveys have shown there is a nearly 100 per cent satisfaction rate among students in both schools.
“Students in both the Hill and Levene Schools have many opportunities for experiential learning,” said Dr. David Senkow, Acting Dean of the Hill and Levene Schools of Business. “In addition, Hill and Levene students are engaged globally, both in the classroom and through international study opportunities.”
Senkow noted that experiential education experiences provide valuable opportunities for students to hone their work skills. These experiences include coop work terms and group competitions like JDC West and the Inter-Collegiate Business Competition – competitions at which the school consistently earns top placements.
The Levene MBA and Executive Master of Business Administration programs feature a mandatory International Study Course as a major component and Hill BBA students have options to spend a semester abroad or take part in various summer study programs. These international experiences challenge Hill and Levene students to reflect on their place in an increasingly global world.
The overall educational experience sets students up to be very successful upon graduation. Hill graduates find employment in a variety of fields from accounting to consulting to public service to not-for-profits, and Levene graduates find they are well placed for advancement in their careers.
Students at both schools also learn the value of giving back to the community. Through this year’s 5 Days for the Homeless Campaign run by the Hill Business Students’ Society, $52,075 was raised to support Carmichael Outreach and help provide food, clothing, housing, assistance, addictions counseling and other services for Regina’s homeless community.
