Throughout your MBA program, you have worked to develop as a practitioner-scholar to meet the needs and future challenges as a business leader. Your program culminates in the capstone project, which forms the primary focus of MBA6900, the final course you will take in the program. The capstone project is intended to provide you the opportunity to demonstrate your MBA program outcomes by:

• Planning and executing the strategic and tactical elements of a comprehensive project.

• Integrating and demonstrating skills and techniques you have learned throughout the MBA program.

• Communicating project outcomes both in written form and in a formal presentation.

• Completing your MBA program with an experience that reinforces and integrates the components that have preceded it.

Capstone Project Examples

Examples of project types that might be proposed to meet these requirements include but are not limited to:

• Preparation of a strategic plan for an organization.

• A strategic analysis of all or a selected part of an organization.

• Development of a case study of all or a selected part of an organization.

• Development of an intervention, such as a workshop or training activity, that is broad- based enough to demonstrate the program-level outcomes.

• Development of a consulting report on a problematic issue within an organization, provided that the issue is broad-based enough to demonstrate program-level outcomes.

You may propose other structures for the capstone project so long as you are able to identify how the proposed project satisfies the requirement of demonstrating the program-level outcomes. When choosing your topic, keep in mind that your capstone project must result in recommendations, next steps, or some other type of actionable, evidence-based takeaways for the reader or subject of the
project.
