We welcome companies to partner with us on capstone projects for MBA students, graduate business analytics students, and undergraduate students studying business analytics, management, management information systems, marketing, and operations and supply chain management.
How Companies Benefit
By collaborating with UD students on capstone projects, companies can receive fresh perspectives on their operations and an opportunity to assess potential talent to hire.
Companies have the flexibility of conducting projects in-person or remotely.
How Students Benefit
Collaborations with regional and national firms allow our students to apply their classroom knowledge to real-world consulting projects. This approach benefits students by helping them apply theoretical concepts and allows them to provide companies with innovative solutions and improvements from a new vantage point.
