Program Types

Our MBA graduates in the Ideation phase of their projects have the opportunity to participate in the Ideation-Startup Award. Interested students will pitch their business ideas to their classmates at the beginning of the Capstone module. Students will vote on the best 3 projects for the Ideation-Startup Award consideration. Selected projects will undergo a feasibility study during the 6-week period of the Capstone module. At the end of the module, the Capstone Instructor and the project mentors will present their findings and decide on which of the projects, if any, warrant award funding.
