Success in today’s business environment is primarily driven by who students are and how they act. Accordingly, Lindner offers an innovative approach to business education that we call PACE. The PACE framework allows students to create a customized roadmap for developing proficiency in Professionalism, Academics, Character and Engagement to ensure they can successfully pursue the personal and professional goals they are passionate about.

Professionalism

• Lindner’s real-world learning opportunities ensure that our students learn the professional communication skills they need to excel in today’s business environment.

• Lindner’s Career Services (career services) team works with undergraduate students to help them obtain real world work experience through Lindner's Universal Co-operative Education requirement. All new first-year students must complete two co-op rotations to meet graduation requirements. Career services guides students in developing resumes, learning interviewing techniques, and obtaining the practical skills that fulfill the expectations of businesses. 

Academics

• Lindner students are distinct individuals with unique goals and interests, and that is why our curriculum ensures that students have a foundational understanding of the key business functions. The breadth of majors and minors allows students to add a second major or minor that will customize their education for added value. Students can augment in-class learning with co-operative education, internships and international study abroad experiences.

Character

• Character means having the strength and conviction to lead and work with teams made up of people with differing backgrounds and viewpoints.  Lindner students build these skills through hands-on, collaborative projects, often working with Cincinnati businesses. 

Engagement

• Students’ lives and careers will be comprised of more than just work. Community service, citizenship and organizational involvement are all key components of personal growth. Lindner empowers students to get involved in the things they care about via student organizations within the Lindner College of Business, the 300-plus organizations within the University of Cincinnati and ongoing partnerships with service organizations. 

Students who have been accepted to the certificate will see the certificate appear on their application for graduation. Students apply for graduation in the certificate as they normally would for their bachelor’s degree.

The UC Lindner College of Business has been accredited continuously since 1919 by AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the premier accrediting agency for business colleges.
