Course Title

BUS 700 Business Research (Capstone) – Fall 2021

Collaboration Overview

This is a practical, research-oriented course for MBA students to work on a real business problem using a "Live Case" methodology for the duration of the semester under faculty mentor(s). The primary method of instruction is project-based experiential learning as students collaborate in a hands-on engagement (i.e. “internship”) to address business problems with a functioning, off-campus "Host Company" in the marketplace. Students will conduct independent and collaborative research as part of a Student Consulting Team to address the business problem(s) presented to them by the Host Company to develop real solutions to real-world challenges. This engagement format directly relates to key learning objectives of the course.
