As a student-centered program, a multitude of opportunities are provided so that students can select an option that best fits their educational and career goals. Whether this is an application to a real-world business problem through a class project or a collaboration with a noted faculty scholar to solve an important business problem facing the discipline, the program is designed to accelerate students’ professional and education careers by giving them the research tools they need to help succeed in today’s increasingly dynamic environment.
