How Coastal Carolina embedded career readiness in the curriculum and watched engagement compound for 2,500+ business students.
Career development used to sit outside the degree. Only the most proactive students showed up. So the Wall College made it required and Quinncia became part of every business student’s 100-level class, delivering resume analysis, mock interviews, and LinkedIn review on demand. Three years in, the numbers tell the story.
