Full-time Two-Year MBA students must complete an Application of Practical Learning as a graduation requirement. This is done by demonstrating the relevance of theoretical and applied learning through real-life work experiences. It is available as an elective for all full-time students in the MS programs.
Students demonstrate their learning by completing at least one of the following topics:


1. Participation in an Internship
2. Participation in the Graduate Co-op Program (GCP)
3. Participation in a Business Plan or Case Competition
4. Completion of a Consulting Project


MBA INTERNSHIP
Graduate-level internships allow students to apply their learning at companies. The MBA internship program can be full-time or part-time. Full- time employment is up to 40 hours per week; Part-time is up to 20 hours a week. Internships courses are listed as BUSN 698 and are 0.5 credit course. Internships are three (3) months and must coincide with the university term dates.
Twenty-seven (27) credits must be completed prior to the start of the internship. Students must also sign an Internship contract with MBA Career Services and make an appointment with their academic advisor to review their plan of study.
Additional requirements apply for international students.



GRADUATE CO-OP PROGRAMS (GCP)
Facilitated through the Steinbright Career Development Center (SCDC), the GCP provides educational and career opportunities for graduate students at the LeBow College of Business. GCP is a full time, paid six (6) month practical learning opportunity. Students must request admission to the GCP at the beginning of their program. . You need to plan in advance in order to qualify for this program and to be successful in your placement. To determine eligibility, student should begin procedures for Academic Qualifications three terms prior to the term they wish to begin the GCP program.


BUSINESS PLAN/CASE COMPETITION
Students may participate in a LeBow-sponsored business plan competition or a case competition. For information on available competitions contact the Business of Ambition (BOA - see page 10 for details). Students must contact the BOA prior to participating in a competition to discuss the application of practical learning requirements.



CONSULTING PROJECT
The Consulting Project is only available to full-time graduate students who are currently working full-time in a corporate setting while concurrently attending their MBA/MS program. A written consulting project (or business plan) may be submitted to demonstrate theoretical and applied learning. This option must be approved by MBA Career Services prior to the start of the project. All projects submitted will be reviewed by MBA Career Services to determine if they meet the application of practical learning requirements.



How does Graduate Co-Op Program (GCP) fit into my Plan of Study?
Participation in GCP is optional. A minimum of 24 advanced (600-level) graduate credits and a GPA of 3.0 or higher are required for admission to the program. When a student receives and accepts an employment offer, s/he enrolls in a three credit “GCP course” for each three-month period of employment, resulting in a total of six (6) credits, assessed tuition at the regular rate. The GCP courses for which a student enrolls are: BUSN 750-098 (first term) and BUSN 751-099 (second term), respectively. These courses do count in the calculation of the overall GPA. If space is available, the GCP course will count as a one-time elective credit (three credits total) in a student’s MBA or MS Plan of Study.
