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

A Student’s Perspective:

“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."
