ECO 385 - Projects in Business and Economics

This will be a project-based, experiential learning course. The primary goal of the course is to develop skills in applying business and economics principles to solve real work problems. The process will be preceded by foundations in project management, leadership, group dynamics, and research methodology. The students will be evaluated not only on their approach, findings and presentation of their research study/project but also on the manner in which they worked together in a group, provided leadership and other group functions as well as the insights they developed into their functioning within teams. This course aims to develop leadership, problem-solving, and analytical skills, as well as providing mechanisms for facilitating such processes. Course Typically Offered: Every 2 years.

Prerequisite(s): Junior standing or Permission of the instructor.
