Capstone
Each student completes a capstone project. The final activity has two primary objectives: 1) it is a learning experience in which the student has the opportunity to discover something about a business topic that is not readily accessible, that is not conventional wisdom, and is not found in any book or other common source, and 2) it is a means by which the student demonstrates his or her depth and breadth of learning from the MBA program. Alumni cite this opportunity as one of the most valuable components of the program in their career advancement.
