Like many students in accelerated M.B.A. programs, Katy Moyer JGSM and Dr. Patrick Collopy JGSM are extensively studying the fundamentals of business administration while worrying about finding jobs in the troubled economy. However, thanks to the Johnson School’s Management Practicum course, they will be able to add something unique to their resumes: real work experience.

Associate Dean for Corporate Relations Randy Allen developed the Management Practicum with students in order to fill a void in the accelerated M.B.A. program. Because of its intensive academic nature, students in the program are not able to complete an internship during the summer as traditional M.B.A. students do.
