The Management Project Practicum offers students majoring or minoring in the programs offered by the Economics & Management department an opportunity to synthesize and apply the skills, knowledge and techniques learned in previous management courses. Students enrolled in the practicum will work with a team on an actual client project and receive valuable feedback from the group, the course faculty, and the client. The course requires in-class work as well as significant work outside of class each week. Depending on the project, the project work may need to be completed in groups or independently outside of the traditional classroom context. The specifics regarding course meetings and scope of work will be developed starting the first day of the course.
Any students interested in taking this course, but who do not meet the prerequisite requirements, should email the professor to express their interest.
