MBA-EXPL : MBA in Experiential Learning |
New Program Track Proposal |
2026 - 2027 |
This is a new track in the MBA program. The title of the track is "Experiential Learning." The track will consist of three new elective courses (3 hours each), Internship I, Internship II, and Internship III. A student taking these courses will work as an intern at an external business organization performing tasks that will give them hands-on experience in the various functional areas of the business (such as accounting, finance, management, marketing, human resources and management information systems). A student in the track will do three separate rounds of internships (in the same organization or up to three different organizations). |

HLTH 5304: The council voted to table this item and return it to the department for correction. The Student Learning Outcomes should be rewritten to suggest graduate level rigor. The student learning outcomes and course objectives should not include chapter numbers. The attendance requirement of not engaging with the course site for more than 4 consecutive days resulting in failure is not considered best practice for a fully online course. The last two sentences of General Expectation #9 regarding the use of AI must be removed, as they contradict 7M视频’s current AI policy.
