The Tabor School of Business offers a world of opportunity at Millikin. Guided by a "can-do attitude," Tabor oozes an entrepreneurial spirit that penetrates artificial boundaries found at other institutions and allows Millikin students from all colleges, schools, majors and programs to benefit from its business guidance and expertise. The result? Business majors get busy freshman year preparing their first business plan. They go on to serve as business consultants to real clients in the Center for Entrepreneurship. They hold internships locally -- at a Fortune 100 company just down the road -- and internationally -- in places like Korea, the Dominican Republic, and Paris. They create their own businesses and compete for seed funding in our Business Creation Challenge. The list goes on and on. Bottom line: Tabor students leave Millikin knowing how to recognize business opportunities and create their own.
