APRJ 699: Applied Projects Report a Broken Link
The MBA Applied Project (APRJ 699) is an academic research paper completed in five months. The paper is a capstone undertaking completed with guidance from an academic supervisor. The Applied Project involves a review of the literature and the systematic application of frameworks, models, concepts, and theories from MBA courses to a specific business problem or situation, for which students develop practical recommendations. The Applied Project is completed in two phases. In Phase 1 (Month 1) students develop a concise proposal and are then assigned to an Academic Supervisor. In Phase 2 (Months 2-5) students conduct their research and write the paper.
