Gain Real-World Experience With Online Convenience
The College of Business at CSUMB integrates experiential learning into nearly every facet of online learning platform of the 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
- Doing Business in World Regions: Join a week-long study trip abroad or engage in a faculty-supervised project to enhance global awareness and cultural sensitivity. Apply acquired business knowledge to an international responsible business issue, with the goal of increasing your global awareness, cultural sensitivity, and ethical reasoning
- Applied Strategy 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
A Student’s Perspective:
Hear from CSUMB’s 2018 Outstanding MBA Graduate Patrick Recinto about the unique benefits of the online program.
“I liked how the classes were broken up into cohorts, which allowed us to collaborate and learn from each other throughout the entirety of the program,” he said, adding that “the cohort size was just the right size for strong yet sufficient discussion.”
