“I spent the last year of my PR courses secretly wishing I had minored in business. The Business Essentials series gave me that chance! It hit the highlights of the business curriculum, and I came away with knowledge I can use in my daily life and bring to the table as I'm looking for my first job. It's user-friendly and engaging—thank you!”
