Collaboration Overview

Montclair State University is searching for companies interested in participating in a semester-long Live Business Case with their MBA Consulting Course this spring! 

We will work with you and your team directly on designing a project engagement that aligns our course learning objectives with your company goals so that everyone wins! Please keep in mind that this should be primarily designed as a student learning experience and that the students will need time to get up-to-speed on your industry, products, and business model before they can drive value to your company.

Engagement Format: Live Case

Think "Hackathon" or Case Competition with a whole class of students! This learning format allows educators to deliver experiential learning to students at scale. Students are often split into groups to work on a live case (or a series of cases) from a real host company that directly relates to key learning objectives.
