MBA Roundtable Innovator Award Winners Webinar
featuring Johns Hopkins University

Tuesday, February 8, 2022
1:00 p.m. EST/10:00 a.m. PAC
  

Join the MBA Roundtable in celebrating our 2021 Innovator Award Winner the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. Learn about their innovative Fully Integrated FT MBA Innovative Experiential Learning Curriculum. Johns Hopkins Carey Business School’s emphasis on experiential learning provides MBA students with many opportunities to put leadership and analytical skills to work in addressing real-world business challenges. Through a sequential and carefully designed portfolio of experiential courses and electives, students learn to collaborate with corporate teams to address current business opportunities, and practice creative problem solving through design thinking and quantitative analysis, ultimately culminating in evidenced-based recommendations. A key component in the sequence of experiential learning courses is the Innovation Field Project, in which student teams work directly with corporate partners to analyze critical business opportunities and challenges, provide consultation, and identify new business possibilities for their sponsors. Other courses in the curriculum sequence include the Big Data Consulting Project, and the two-part Design Lab and Commercializing Discovery courses. In this webinar you can learn about their experience and best practices for curriculum innovation and change and discover some potential ideas for your own programs.
