TRANSCRIPT
Innovate. Inspire. Transform.
"Although there are a number of "internship" programs available for business students, the MMB case study program is unique in that the students approach the project as a self-directed team, rather than as in-dividuals. A collaborative team ap-proach to problem-solving is impera-tive in today's business environment, and the exposure that the students receive to working as a team in the MMB program will be invaluable as they pursue careers in business."
