Action Learning
Learn by doing. Immerse yourself in the environment of leading business organizations.
What do employers want?
Employers need strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Foundational technical skills may be important, but candidates’ ability to attack a problem with creativity, insight and curiosity is what makes them stand out.
Required Practicum
Enhance your skills by completing a comprehensive project using real-world datasets. In your final semester, you will work on a capstone project with an emphasis on data-driven storytelling.
Additional Opportunities
Your schedule may allow for additional action-learning opportunities. For example:
Amplify your skills while making a real impact. As a paid student assistant in our Projects Clinic, you’ll dive into hands-on, real-world projects alongside our community partners. Multiple short-term projects throughout the semester offer you a dynamic experience working with diverse organizations.
Acquire experience in the functional areas and industries that interest you most. Work on challenging, real-world projects to refine your skills and competencies, while gaining an edge in the job market with a meaningful internship. Build your network through collaboration with colleagues and supervisors. Work with our internship experts in the Career Resource Center.
Work one-on-one with a faculty member to gain a deeper understanding of a specific research topic. Broaden your knowledge of research methodologies and how to apply them. Learn practical skills in planning, critical thinking and troubleshooting to connect the classroom with the real world.
