Partner with a Purpose

Through the School’s Corporate and Community Partner Program, organizations can engage with students, faculty, Centers of Excellence and Institutes in ways that align with their goals while helping students build the confidence, skills and professional networks they need to contribute from day one.

Your Partnership Helps Students

Partners play an active rol in creating the hands-on experiences that define a Duquesne business education.

Your support can help students:

• Gain real-world business experience
• Connect with employers, alumni and mentors
• Build confidence through client-facing projects
• Access industry tools, competitions and networking
• Prepare to lead with ethics, purpose and professional skill

Ways to Partner

Support Centers and Institutes

Partners may support the School’s Centers of Excellence and Institutes, which serve as hubs for student learning, faculty expertise, research, professional networking and career development.

Opportunities include the Investment Strategy Institute, Center for Leadership in Professional Selling, Eugene P. Beard Center for Student Success, Center for Excellence in Supply Chain Management, Center for Excellence in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Center.

Bring Business Into the Classroom

Through Duquesne’s Cornerstone-to-Capstone experiential learning model, partners can serve as live clients for student consulting projects.

Students work in teams to research, analyze and develop recommendations for real organizational challenges—gaining practical experience while offering partners fresh thinking and data-informed solutions.

Invest in Professional Growth

Designated partner organizations may be eligible for Duquesne’s Community Partners Tuition Discount Program, creating additional opportunities for employees and members to pursue graduate business education.

The Business of Difference Making®

At Duquesne, business education is about more than preparing students for their first job. It is about helping them develop the judgment, confidence and purpose to improve organizations, strengthen communities and make any team better.

When alumni, employers and community partners invest in the School of Business, they help open doors for students and shape the next generation of ethical, innovative business leaders.
