Sponsorships
The Center for Business and Policy Research (CBPR) depends on external funding, such as sponsorships, grants, and contracts, to support its operations. Although the Center does provide paid internships and professional experience for University of the Pacific students, it does not grant academic credit or generate tuition revenue. Thus, external sponsors play a vital role in allowing CBPR to fulfill its research, outreach, and educational mission.
