Field Experience/Internships
For more than 30 years, the hallmark of the full-time MBA program has been field project experience. During their second year, teams of 2 to 4 students work under the supervision of a faculty member on yearlong consulting projects with a client business, not-for-profit organization, or governmental agency. Students define the project scope, develop formal project planning documents, write periodic status reports, and deliver a final presentation and/or report.
