Industry Partners

Through partnering with industry leaders like Boeing to mine data or adapt NASA technology to consumer goods, the CBA is able to provide hands-on learning opportunities for its students as they gain real world experience while providing professional services.

Along with top names like Avanade, the CBA has a long-standing tradition of working with local businesses dating back to the 1970s, when then-Dean Reed M. Powell made two White House visits mainly due to his work establishing a community business development center and work with the U.S. Small Business Association.
