Partner with students in the Innovation in Business course as they explore how new ideas and technologies can drive creative solutions. These are upper-level business students who bring a strong foundation in areas like marketing, management, accounting, and business research. They’re also introduced to emerging technologies, but are not tech specialists. This course is all about accessible, applied innovation. The goal this semester is to offer students a few real-world projects to choose from. You’ll propose a challenge that fits your organization’s goals, and students will spend the term researching, planning, and proposing innovative solutions.
