FAQ

  • How does the Senior Experience program work?

    The Senior Experience program matches teams of BSBA students with projects submitted by local businesses and organizations. Under the supervision of a faculty member, students work together as consultants, rigorously applying what they鈥檝e learned in the classroom to real-world projects and business dilemmas. Client organizations receive dedicated attention from bright, energetic teams of business students, providing a fresh outlook on their projects.   

    The nature of the problems or projects chosen for Senior Experience varies according to the individual organizations. For instance, a student consulting team might be asked to: 

    • Diagnose the causes of an accounting, finance, operations or information systems problem, evaluate possible solutions and make a recommendation or possibly implement the chosen alternative.
    • Conduct a feasibility study or write a business plan for producing a new product, entering a new market or building a new facility.
    • Analyze manufacturing processes, customer service workflows or a human resources program.
