Located in room 146 of the Howard Jordan Business Building, Ms. Lenora Gilbert and the Placement Center act as liaisons between employers, academic programs and students. The ultimate goal is to ensure that every graduating senior secures the best possible position for his/her chosen career. While assisting with career planning, personal and professional development, and job placement, the Center provides COBA students with many opportunities for internships, cooperative education, part-time or full-time jobs, graduate education, and/or scholarship opportunities.
A distinct feature of the College of Business Administration is the opportunity to participate in the Internship Program. National and international companies have partnered with the College of Business in an effort to afford students the opportunity to develop those skills that ensure marketability in an ever-growing workforce. Most students will complete one or two internships prior to graduation. Internships are coordinated through the College of Business Placement Coordinator, with the support of the University's Center for Leadership and Development. The internship requirement contributes to the overall marketability and professional development of our Alumni-In-Training. These internships provide invaluable on-the-job experience and serve as a vehicle in which theories and concepts learned in the classroom are applied in real world settings.
The National Urban League's Black Executive Exchange Program (B.E.E.P.) Conference is held at Savannah State University every February. Black Executive Exchange Program (BEEP) is a voluntary partnership between the National Urban League (NUL), corporate America, government, non-profits, and other institutions to loan African-American executives to participating colleges as "Visiting Professors." Visiting Professors lecture in credit-bearing courses that correspond to their industries and participate in other BEEP-related activities such as networking sessions, workshops and mock job interviews.
BEEP's mission is to share learning experience across generations, cultivate new leaders, and inspire achievements "beyond the possible" through committed involvement and operational excellence.
