Bus 590 Business Sustainability in Global Perspectives (2)
This course is an intensive cornerstone integrative experience for the first year of the full-time MBA program. Students will work on a client-based project that requires them to integrate the full-time MBA curriculum, conduct research and analysis on real client problems, and apply business concepts they have learned in their first year courses. In this class, we bring together students, academics, scientists, and industry experts to accomplish one large task: Helping real organizations develop and implement sustainable strategies and practices. This course includes guest speakers, simulations, and field trips that prepare student teams to make recommendations in several oral presentations and written documents.
