We will continue to accept applications through May 31st.

Details about the Diversity In Business Bridge Program at Culverhouse

The Diversity in Business Bridge Program (DBBP) provides additional college preparation for those interested in business as a major/career, including exposure to business professors and professionals, thereby promoting college success for underrepresented minority students by helping them make a smoother transition to college.
Dedicated college financial support will be available to program graduates who enroll at UA to pursue a degree in business.
The program is designed for students from historically marginalized groups (i.e., African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American) who are underrepresented in business and are interested in learning about a business career.

• They must be rising seniors attending an Alabama High School to apply to this program.
• The application will be available from March 1st through May 31st, 2021.
• The Bridge Program will be virtual June 14-18 from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
• We will hold an optional campus orientation on Saturday, June 12th at 9:00 a.m.

The DBBP Program will follow UA and Culverhouse safety guidelines, protocols, and restrictions.

More on SeaTech and Ocean Engineering:
SeaTech is FAU’s flag ship site for advanced engineering research and technology development aimed at solving problems in the ocean. Ocean Engineering, the research concentration at SeaTech, is a multidisciplinary field aimed at solving engineering problems associated with working in the ocean environment and wisely exploring and harnessing the ocean's resources.
Ocean engineers design, build, operate, and maintain ships, offshore structures and a variety of ocean technologies including ships, submarines, oil rigs, underwater robots, and acoustic sonar.
Ocean engineers study the oceans to determine the effects of waves, currents, and the saltwater environment on ships and other marine vehicles and structures and develop methods and materials to withstand wave forces and protect against corrosion. Ocean engineers are also involved in development and use of manned and unmanned marine vehicles for deep-sea exploration and resource recovery. An ocean engineer, Dr. Robert Ballard, located the wreckage of the Titanic.
FAU’s ocean engineering program, initiated in 1965 as the nation’s first such undergraduate program, is one of the oldest in the nation. FAU offers a four-year BS degree program, as well as BS/MS, MS, and PhD degree programs, in Ocean Engineering. Students may visit www.ome.fau.edu to learn more about our programs.

McDonald’s is always looking to hire employees in an increasingly competitive job market. This year we decided it was the perfect time to reach out to area schools and to let juniors and seniors know about a unique opportunity. Six years ago McDonald’s launched the Archways to Opportunity program which provides $2,500 tuition assistance per year to students in good standing, once they have been employed for at least three months. This is the perfect opportunity for a graduating senior to defray the cost of their fall tuition next year! We have had many students who come back to work for us every summer so that they will again be eligible for the $2,500 tuition assistance in the Fall. It has been a win for the students and a win for us!

Tuition assistance is only one of the many benefits that we offer to our employees. Other benefits include:

• Starting pay $10.50/hr.-$13.00/hr.
• Flexible Scheduling/Co-Op/Work Study
• Unlimited opportunities for advancement
• Free uniforms
• Paid time away
• BCBS to full time employees
• Free meals on the clock
• 30% discounted meals anytime
