Some of the Best Learning Experiences Occur Outside the Classroom

At the School of Management, you have the opportunity to seamlessly connect your studies with the contemporary business environment. High-impact activities outside the traditional classroom setting allow you to integrate theory with practice—to advance your leadership and management abilities. You use your creativity and problem-solving skills to address the kinds of challenges you experience on the job, no matter which industry or what country your career takes you to.

During the second year, you embark on an integrative learning project in which you apply classroom studies to a current business challenge. In this capstone project, student teams build on program course work to develop a proposal for a technology management solution to a business problem faced by a company or a division of a company, either real or hypothetical. Students may use a start-up project as well. At the end of the capstone project, the student teams present their proposals to a panel of technology executives. Many past capstone project proposals have resulted in funding from the subject companies.
