Action Learning Project

1-2 Credits

This course is designed to give the student the opportunity to work on a real-time, salient business challenge or issue for the sponsoring organization. This is often the student's employer. Students are encouraged to design projects which extend beyond a single functional area and require them to examine the interaction of multiple functional areas from a systems perspective. Students work in teams for the projects. This allows them to learn from one another, as well as to learn how to work more effectively in teams - especially in a largely virtual environment. This is typically a two credit course when projects are initiated and completed entirely within a single term. It may be a one credit course when projects extend over more than one term.
