Practicum in Management

MGMT-4900

This is an experiential, project-based course where students work on projects for an actual business. Students can work on their own startup idea, on RCOS projects that have commercial potential, or in a consulting role for a local company. Practicum in Management is designed and developed for students from all educational backgrounds who want to learn the fundamentals of business as they apply to satisfying a "customer's need". Students will work on a team or individually on projects and communicate to the class frequently to facilitate student learning from one another. We begin with some basic tenets of business and an overview of how to develop and oversee a project plan. The course will help you begin to understand the process by which an idea can be developed into a business or to recognize that there is no business case, quickly. Alternatively, if you are working for a "customer" it will give you first-hand experience understanding their needs, articulating a plan and executing the plan to fill the need of your client.
