Why did you choose the Belk College of Business/UNC Charlotte?
The Belk College of Business at UNC Charlotte is unlike most business schools. For one, there is a city filled with many big companies about 15 minutes down the road.

When you hear many businesses come to UNC Charlotte to recruit, you know it has to be a great school.

After graduation I plan to get a job, work for a year, then hopefully return to school to obtain my master's degree.
