Through Corporate Champions, UB MBA students can learn about a company’s strategy, process and culture firsthand.

What differentiates UB MBAs from other MBAs? Corporate Champions, our emphasis on real-world, action learning.

Only UB MBAs can experience Corporate Champions. Beginning in your first semester, Corporate Champions is an extensive and powerful program that provides you with the practical opportunity to immediately apply your knowledge, positively impacting actual companies and the community ecosystem.

How it Works

Learn your Corporate Champion’s business from the inside, where you can experience strategy, process and culture firsthand. You will jump right into working with a corporate partner to get a better understanding of the world of business and your connection to it. Integrated into your MBA core courses, this outstanding immersion opportunity crosses into team skills, organizational behavior, statistics and communications.

Representing a variety of industries and backgrounds, our Corporate Champions participate in multiple touchpoints with you and your team throughout the first full semester of your MBA experience. You will benefit from the insights, learning-lab environment and access to senior leadership provided by the Corporate Champions program and from the network of involved companies.
