MGMT 5340 - Business Consulting

3 credit hours
Student teams serve as consultants to area businesses that have been identified through the Seattle University Project Center. The consulting teams identify the projects’ work dimensions in the beginning of the quarter through interaction with company leadership. Substantial interaction is then required throughout the quarter between the student team, the business representatives, the professor, and professional consultants brought in to assist the student teams. Materials and lectures will be designed to provide students with direct information that will assist in the development of the consulting report at the end of the quarter. While significant class time is assigned to help the teams work on the projects, it should be assumed that meeting with the client and the team might require time outside of class. Performance on the project is the entire basis for the grade in the course. As Capstone, course must be taken in the last 9 credits of program.

Prerequisite Course(s): (MBA 5008, MBA 5012) or (MBA 5215, MBA 5230)
