In 2012, Xavier University opened its third official entrance to the university, one that not only allows a quicker entryway to and from Divisoria Park but also allows students to run their own businesses under the Student Entrepreneurship Center or SEC for short. This entrance, which is called the SEC mall, allows fourth year Business Administration students a chance to practice the fields of marketing, finance, and economics, which they have been learning since their early collage life. Making their feasibility studies into full fledge businesses is hard work and the SEC mall provides a controlled environment for them to work in.
