COB 300 - Integrative Business

This guide helps students find evidence to support their business plan drafts. Be advised this is NOT a checklist for all topics that should be researched.

What is a Peer Research Adviser?

Need help finding information for a business plan or another business paper/project?

We have a team of students who can help you utilize business information effectively, including data not available via a "regular" Google search. They are called Peer Research Advisers.

Schedule a consult with one of them to give your GPA a boost!
