Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This interdisciplinary capstone course provides students with the opportunity to integrate multiple components of their business education and to practice the critical thinking, communication, managerial and entrepreneurial skills necessary to lead and manage organizations in the real world. Students hone quantitative skills and integrate prior learning across business disciplines in a complex corporate strategy simulation. Students examine who they are through reflections about their personal experiences and their personal and professional goals. Students also develop a better understanding of the needs and opportunities of the world through a service-learning project. Students explore and evaluate, as consultants, a problem faced by a local business to aid in innovative business development and problem solving. The resulting project is then presented to both community partners and the Edgewood community. Students study, integrate, and apply key business concepts throughout the course, with a specific focus on the development of ethical, sustainable business practices. Students will participate in field trips, hear from guest speakers, and be coached and mentored by business professionals and faculty to enhance their learning and personal development. The fee assessed for this course covers the cost of the Clifton Top 5 Strengths Assessment.
