MBA Capstone Course and Applied Learning

MBA Capstone

Experiential learning is a fundamental component that is integral to the success and development of our MBA students. As such, the MBA program is tailored to provide students with the opportunity to gain first-hand learning and experience by interacting with outside organizations and business partners through capstone projects, applied learning courses, student clubs, internships, and international opportunities.

SMO/SEM 641: Business Strategy

As part of our MBA Capstone Course, students will work in teams with an outside organization to assist with a strategic issue they are facing. Teams will identify the issue, provide potential solutions, recommend a course of action and develop an implementation plan for their client. This course provides students the opportunity to apply what they've learned in the UAlberta MBA to real-world settings and gain first-hand experience working with outside organizations during their studies.
