THE FIELD CENTER IS FOR STUDENTS

At the Field Center we believe in an integrated system where academics and the real world meet. That is why we strive to provide students, faculty and entrepreneurs with excellent resources where they can get the needed assistance. Students are invited to visit the Baruch College Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at the Field Center to seek advice on how to start-up, run or grow a business. The SBDC is one of 23 Centers in the State of New York that provides one-on-one counseling and training services on all aspects of starting and operating a business. Professional experts provide assistance with a wide range of business challenges including the creation of a focused business plan, selecting funding alternatives, financial statements, developing marketing plans and complying with licensing and regulatory requirements.


FIELD FELLOWSHIP

The Field Fellowship Program at the Lawrence N. Field Center for Entrepreneurship provides valuable professional development experience for students alongside a rigorous academic program at the Zicklin School of Business. Undergraduate and graduate Field Fellows work alongside business development counselors and faculty in serving approximately 1200 Small Business Development Center clients annually. They provide technical support services including assistance in developing business and marketing plans; evaluating and selecting funding alternatives, accounting systems and technology; supervising employees; and studying the implications of business decisions.  In addition to client work, interns may be involved with other Center projects involving research and business analysis.
