Bringing the Classroom to You

In business and in education, communication is key. But in today’s fast-paced and global business world, we can’t always meet face-to-face. At Valpo, you’ll have access to MBA Live® technology, which turns our classrooms into real-time audio and video communication centers. With MBA Live®, Valpo brings international experts into the classroom, and brings the classroom to you, wherever your life takes you.

Honing business intelligence with SAP

Valparaiso University is a member of the SAP University Alliances Program, an organization that connects universities with SAP, the world’s leading provider of systems, applications, and products in data processing. SAP software is used at more than 75 percent of Fortune 500 companies to manage key business functions like maintaining accounts and warehouse management.

Within the job market, candidates who are skilled with SAP receive a significant competitive advantage. Our partnership with SAP ensures that Valpo graduates are equipped with the business intelligence skills that companies demand.

Valpo offers two SAP training courses, including the required core course Business 115: Introduction to Enterprise Resource Planning Using SAP. Through the University Alliances Program, Valpo students are also invited to distinguish themselves at SAP contests and competitions. At the SAP National Marketing Innovators Competition, the Valpo team won in its first year as a competitor.

Partner with Valpo

Hundreds of companies and organizations across the United States and around the world offer internships to Valpo students.

The College of Business also partners with local businesses in the Valparaiso community to provide learning experiences for our students. If your company or organization would like to explore a partnership with Valpo, please contact Matt Luth, Acting Dean, College of Business, at .
