Capstone projects use students' competencies developed throughout the MBA program to solve real-world business problems supplied by a variety of organizations in the student's final term. Capstone projects are experiential learning that mutually benefit students and organizations.

Projects are required to be strategic in nature, and should span across multiple functional areas (strategy, finance, operations, marketing, human relations, entrepreneurship, innovation etc.). Projects are completed in a 3-month time frame and are sufficient in scope to provide an average of 10hrs/week commitment from a 3-5 person student team.

Proposals are selected by the students and once finalized, student teams manage the project and communications with oversight from the professor. Some proposals may not match and if this is the case, we will contact you for other opportunities or the possibility of participating in a different term.

• The student team will deliver to the participating company a formal presentation based on the project. The presentation will 20 minutes long and allow for 5 minutes of questions (25 minutes in total). Presentations will be open to the class but, in some circumstances, may be closed at the request of the project organization. Schedule permitting, the presentation may follow with a private discussion between the sponsors, the team and the professor.
• The student team will also deliver a 30-page final project report with data-driven analysis, options, recommendations and supplemental appendices.
• Please note: We review project proposals after communicating with the company but some projects may not be filled unless there is sufficient student interest to form a full team of 3-5 students. You will receive confirmation on your project the week of January 22, 2024. If the project is not filled, we will suggest other options to work together either immediately or in the next cohort.
