We Learn Business by Doing Business.
Leadership and Business Strategy
A Business Program Unlike Any Other.
The Leadership and Business Strategy Program (LBS) is a co-major and minor offered through Western Michigan University’s Haworth College of Business. This experience sets you apart and prepares you to succeed in any career.
Most business programs teach theories — we teach business by putting you inside the business itself. You’ll work within real companies, alongside CEOs, investors, and managing partners, leading projects that shape strategy and growth. It’s rigorous, immersive, and transformative — the kind of real experience where true growth happens.
The LBS community runs on The Juice — the energy, focus, and accountability that push you further than you thought possible.
Don’t just study business. Do business. Discover who you become in the process.
