For Corporations
The Corporate Engagement Project (CEP) is an experiential learning opportunity offered to students in our Full Time MBA Program. It involves teams of 3 to 5 students working on a corporate enterprise sponsored project. Investment from an enterprise entails a liaison to work, on average, 2 hours per week with the team for the duration of the project. Travel expenses provided if required. The project term is 12 weeks and the student team will deliver a project report and/or presentation to the corporate enterprise at the end of the period. There is no fee for the students’ work. Enterprise partners are encouraged to support the program through contributing to the Woody L. Hunt College of Business.
