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:

A Student’s Perspective:
Hear from CSUMB’s Luke Gray about the unique benefits of the Responsible Business online program.
“Why is CSUMB so different in the area of responsible business?
CSUMB provides a defined framework for practical applications of responsible business. It equips students with a comprehensive lens to evaluate various issues and synthesize new solutions for businesses.
This is especially important in today’s connected society where businesses are becoming more integral in societal progression and expectations are shifting to have businesses become more accountable. CSUMB is leading the way in this regard."
