Carson College of Business - EDGE Program
Expanding Diverse Group Experiences (EDGE) Program

The Expanding Diverse Group Experiences (EDGE) program addresses the specific needs and barriers of students from low socio-economic, first-generation backgrounds as they transition to WSU and pursue an undergraduate business degree.


Based in theory and driven by best practice, EDGE programming:

  • Develops within students the academic skills and behaviors that enable college success
  • Increases students’ social capital
  • Improves students’ contextual skills and awareness of both higher education and business
  • Strengthens students’ non-cognitive beliefs, skills, and behaviors, including: growth mindset, pluralistic orientation, social self-concept, academic self-concept, and social agency
