“Group projects would be in our international course, for instance, where we ask students to research the business environment for a country then make recommendations on whether to invest or not invest,” Dean Skolnik says. “In marketing, they’ll often do community-based projects such as one where there was branding for a local town and the students worked together looking at ways to elevate the town’s profile.”

In speaking about group project work, the dean reflects on one online MBA student’s recent experience. “We spoke about group projects and collaboration with peers who are in different places in the world. The student was relaying working with a classmate who was in India and another in China and the need to coordinate across multiple time zones. What was morning for them was evening for another student on the other side of the world. What’s nice about this is it models what we see in the business environment as we collaborate with colleagues who are in different parts of the world.”
