The College of Business at CSUMB integrates experiential learning into nearly every facet of online learning platform of the Responsible Business Online MBA program by encouraging students to put business principles into action by practicing with simulations and tackling realistic, modern scenarios. Some projects include:

• Business Simulations: Participate in online business simulations in several courses that put you in the shoes of a manager in order to build a variety of practical skills
• Global Sustainable Business: In a three-week virtual consultancy with a community-led company dedicated to resolving economic disparities and empowering communities to reduce inequalities, students team up to help resolve current, real-world challenges related to microfinance, microenterprises, and business plans
• Responsible Business Capstone: Synthesize your learning at the end of the program in a business capstone, an in-depth multi-week, team-based experience that will enable you to integrate and apply the knowledge you acquired in all previous courses

Online doesn’t mean you’re on your own! From enrollment to graduation, students will be fully immersed in our innovative and engaging online learning platform.

At CSUMB, we create opportunities for personal engagement with faculty and classmates to foster a supportive learning environment during weekly meet up sessions to ensure you’re on track and poised to succeed. Throughout the program, you’ll have the chance to grow your professional network in a collaborative learning environment with a tightly knit cohort of diverse peers. With classmates from multiple occupational backgrounds helping to expand your knowledge and challenge your

understanding of how business functions across different industries, you’ll build the confidence to make strong business decisions as you form your own career path.
