By describing how the organization is experienced, the student should be better able to make a smooth transition from the classroom to the workplace. The Management Laboratory involves the application of classroom learning to practical managerial projects or programs. An educational program or project with specific objectives must be established before approval of the course. It must consist of nonroutine managerial-type work. There is a minimum requirement of 150 hours devoted to the laboratory, and this must be in addition to any regular employment.
Enrollment is limited to the availability of placement and to the availability of faculty.
Application must be made through an advisor eight weeks in advance of the regular fall or spring registration. Students produce a written work or engage in a project at an appropriate level of analysis and skill. The completed thesis or project is defended orally before and evaluated by a faculty committee. This course provides students with a description and analysis of the mechanics of doing business abroad.
