International travel courses – Experiential learning with global businesses in Europe and Latin America
Management Consulting Project – Collaborate with Fortune 500 companies, executives, and small businesses in field studies
Mayo Innovation Scholars Program – Gain hands-on experience combining business and biomedical research with the prestigious Mayo Clinic (Please note: The 2021-22 Mayo Scholars Program is suspended due to COVID-19; we are hopeful the program will be reinstated next year.)

“I have recently started a new job with ProPartners Financial. They are a crop and input agriculture finance company. I believe I got this position because of my MBA and in particular, my final MBA Consulting Project. I worked with a local farm with their Aronia Berry production, looking at channels to bring the berries to market. I had the opportunity to learn about the struggles farmers go through with managing their business. This relates to what I do now – dealing with farmers and providing the financing for their products when they may not have the working capital to purchase the product otherwise.”
