PositionIndiana College Guide

"To compete successfully in today's global economy, you have to have the tools--an open, creative mind, a strong grasp of the fundamentals of how business works and as much hands-on experience as you can get ... and that's what you'll get at UE," says Mark Lemond, CEO of Shoe Carnival and a member of the UE class of 1978.

The University of Evansville provides the tools that a graduate needs to make a difference in the business community. UE's Schroeder Family School of Business Administration offers a distinct edge to be successful in business by providing a strong experience-based program. These experiences give students the ability to adapt to the challenges that exist in today's business environment. That's the UE edge.
