Newberry College

The Department of Business, Behavioral and Social Sciences prepares students for entrepreneurial leadership through scholastic inquiry, critical thinking and purposeful vocation in the global economy. Students complete internships and field experiences at companies such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Kraft Foods and the City of Newberry, Newberry County Public Defender's Office, Lexington County Family Court, and many more.

"My internship supported the vision, mission, and company objectives of the Newberry Opera House by enabling the Opera House to provide real-time information to patrons and support its marketing efforts. It was a unique and valuable experience." Brianna Blakely '11

In 2011-12 the Department also hosted Fortune 500 company representatives for Phi Beta Lambda’s Corporate Lecture Series. Speakers included the talent coordinator for Verizon Wireless, the general manager of Newberry’s Caterpillar plant and the talent acquisition manager for Enterprise.
