Applied Impact Consulting (without travel)

(1.5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

In Applied Impact Consulting (AIC) students work directly with the client to scope projects, manage deliverables, implement solutions, and measure impact. Working as global consultants, students will hone their skills at team building, project management, communication, human-centered design, business model development, and project measurement. Ultimately you will be a part of the team building out an Impact Portfolio to highlight the global impact we as a university are having on the world's most pressing problems. At the end of the semester, teams formally present their projects to an advisory board in an effort to secure any additional funding needed for sustainable implementation. In addition to managing a live consulting project, participants have the opportunity to engage with a number of industry experts both in the classroom and during the class immersions - both domestically and internationally. Students are given first priority for traveling in they wish as a part of the Innovation & Design Immersion course ( MGTO 35310 ). Students can elect to participate as a team lead (3-credits) or in an analyst role (1.5-credits).
