Looking for a way to get ahead? 

Accelerate Your Future—Become a Business Fellow!

As a Ball State Business Fellow, you'll have the opportunity to take your knowledge and skills on a test drive with an Indiana company or organization.  You'll be part of a team of students, under the direction of a Ball State professor, that works directly with a partner company to engage in a problem-based project.  You'll be part of a solution that drives improved services, increased business, higher quality, and improved competitiveness.

Through this hands-on, team-based experience you'll

• Gain practical experience in your career field.
• Develop skills employers want.
• Increase your marketability.
• Expand your network with Indiana employers, alumni, faculty, and students.
• Connect with job opportunities in Indiana.
• Earn real money while getting real experience!

The Business Fellows program is open to all Ball State juniors, seniors, and graduate students from all academic majors.  Business Fellows are required to commit an average of 10 hours a week to their projects.
