Navigating the Business World: From Classroom to Practice

Experiential Learning, Service Learning, Internships, Consulting Practicum

It is vital for students to have opportunities to apply business knowledge in a “real world” setting. Structuring such opportunities can present challenges for faculty, especially in schools located in rural areas or when teaching online. In this session presenters will share their experiences using: 1) service learning in the capstone business course, 2) serving as faculty supervisor for interns, and 3) leading a consulting practicum in an online MBA program. The use of these experiences in assessment for AACSB purposes will also be addressed. Session participants will have an opportunity to share their approaches to developing experiential learning requirements.
