The Program

The MBA Consulting Project is required for every graduating CSUSM MBA student. Sponsoring organizations propose real world project opportunities and students deliver real world solutions. The projects represent the capstone experience required of all graduating students earning an MBA in one of CSUSM’s graduate programs. The MBA project provides an exceptional applied learning opportunity, as well as contributes positively to the economic region.

Projects may range from single student consultants in the Specialized MBA Program, to collaborative teams of up to five (5) Fully Employed MBA Program students. Each student provides a minimum of two hundred (200) project hours over the duration of their final course.
