MBA Capstone Courses

Transformative Experience

The UC Davis Part-Time MBA program culminates in a capstone experience that refines your analytical, strategic, and teamwork abilities. You choose between two dynamic capstone options:

  • Integrated Management Simulation (IMS): In this course, a simulation immerses teams in the challenges of managing a competitive, growth-focused bike company. Students sharpen decision-making skills as they navigate a dynamic market against other teams.
     
  • Integrated Management Project (IMP): Student teams work with client sponsors from diverse organizations, including established companies, startups, nonprofits and UC Davis units. The projects address real-world challenges, moving beyond case studies to tackle live business scenarios and present the team's findings to client leaders.

Both courses are designed to build essential skills for professional advancement, emphasizing teamwork, real-time problem-solving and the practical application of MBA knowledge.
