Academic support for the Wisconsin BBA is facilitated through the Business Learning Center.
The BLC’s mission is to help students excel by providing academic support in quantitatively based, business related courses. In small groups, we reinforce students’ understanding of the materials presented in lectures. Concepts are explored in greater depth, students’ questions are answered, and we conduct additional exercises and problems, practice exams and review sessions. Skills emphasized include quantitative/analytical, problem solving, test taking, motivation and communication. The ultimate goal is to help students become comfortable with the course material so concepts can be easily handled in class assignments and on exams.
Students meet two times a week in groups conducted by PhD candidates in Economics, MBA graduate students in Finance and iMAcc, Masters of Accountancy, students. The focus is on the process of learning as well as the conclusion in a supportive, comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
