Academics

Transformative Experiences

At SFA, we believe students benefit greatly from hands-on learning in and out of the classroom.
Transformative experiences are at the core of our academic philosophy.

Economics Research
AMA
Phi Beta Lambda
  • For the first time, SFA economics students from the Rusche College of Business presented research at the 13th Economics Scholars Program Conference for Undergraduate Research, hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
  • Students in the American Marketing Association’s student chapter won second place in best communication of chapter events at the International AMA Conference in New Orleans. The conference brought together more than 1,700 students to compete and network. Attendees enhanced their professional development skills and gained inspiration through marketing and sales practices.
  • During the Phi Beta Lambda Texas State Leadership Conference, SFA business students placed in 18 categories, with some students receiving multiple awards. The awards included 10 first-place finishes, eight second-place wins and five third-place awards.
