Project Examples

Learners in groups of 3-4 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their research and analysis.


Ideal projects may have a clear business problem statement and can be research-focused, task-focused, or a mix of both. We value partners who are open to negotiating project scopes to ensure meaningful learning experiences for our students.


Project activities that learners can complete may include, but are not limited to: 

  1. Project planning activities (scope planning, risk planning, etc.).
  2. Project scheduling activities, including schedule maintenance.
  3. Team coordination and facilitation activities.
  4. Cost management and tracking activities.
  5. Project change management activities.
