PSU's Center for Retail Leadership

The Center for Retail Leadership (CRL) prepares students for successful careers in the industry by creating hands-on learning experiences focused on innovation, collaboration, and thought leadership.  Our programs were developed in partnership with leading brands to focus on meeting the evolving needs of consumers and industry in the disruptive retail environment. We equip our students with the skills needed to adapt and design for the future of retail.   The Center brings students and industry leaders together and serves as the foundation to build knowledge, experience, and relationships that are critical to career success. Industry engagement is critical to the success of this dynamic program. Our brand partners are heavily involved in teaching, guest speaking and informing curriculum development based on industry demands. Our partners actively invest the next generation of future leaders in the CRL and even hire our students.  The CRL opens doors - opportunity is knocking!
