This field-case consulting program has been available to Wittenberg Management majors since 1994, students must apply for and be accepted for specific projects. Project Management Assistance requests are posted in the Wittenberg Center for Applied Management, and vary from term to term, including Summer. Students are assigned individually or in teams to project sponsoring organizations. Each student or team is coached by a faculty supervisor to plan and execute the desired project.
Academic credit varies.
The number of credits earned is a measure of the nature and complexity of the project, the time frame necessary for completion, and the number of students assigned to the project. The time students spend on the project is not necessarily spent at the sponsoring client's organization, depending on the nature of the project. The PMA team also did the preliminary screening of 1999 nominees. The EBI award is sponsored by WittCAM, Junior Achievement and Springfield Small Business Development Center, and underwritten by 13 Clark County businesses and educational institutions. Wittenberg Webmaster Markus Kruse, worked on some aspects with the PMA to develop a site that was compatible with the overall University design.
