project based curriculum

​Experiential learning is an academic priority at the University of Georgia.  All UGA students engage in at least one experiential learning activity to apply their classroom learning to real world problems.  These opportunities position them for success after graduation, and provide a pathway for companies to test out future candidates. Our MBA students work with outside organizations through Lean Six Sigma projects, Innovative Business Projects using Design Thinking tools, and Corporate Strategy projects in our Consulting class, completing 48 hands-on projects in partnership with corporations, consulting companies, and local nonprofits over the past 18 months. 

fintech emphasis

The program’s most innovative project course has been the Capstone Project for our new FinTech Emphasis, a spring semester project in partnership with a leading FinTech firm. Both in 2018 and 2019, teams of MBAs have worked with Atlanta-based Global Payments on projects in the gaming industry, including the development of new technologies to expedite credit extension to casino patrons and repurposing company assets to offer additional revenue opportunities. 

 

Case Competitions

​Students have competed in 12 external case competitions this academic year, involving nearly half of our full-time students. They’ve traveled to Yale, Baylor, Illinois, and other destinations to compete, including UCONN, where they took 1st place in the 2019 UConn MBA Sustainability Case Competition.  They also won 3rd place in the Merck Grand Business Challenge at NC State. In April, they placed fourth at the SEC MBA Case Competition and we’ll find out whether Georgia MBAs can recapture the NAIOP Case Competition title, which we won in 2016 and 2017.
 
The big news this year was the inaugural internal case competition for Georgia MBAs, in which 44 students participated. In this 24-hour crisis simulation, students were challenged to develop a strategy for dealing with a crisis and present to a company board of directors, followed by a mock press conference. A dozen Georgia MBA alumni enjoyed playing roles as company directors and taught students some real-world lessons about leadership and presenting to experienced corporate executives
