Learning Accelerators - Real Opportunities

Traditional classroom learning has its limits. It is often compared to a two dimensional image that is limited in both scope and depth, but still attempts and oftentimes fails to reproduce realistic situations, stifling the learning process.

Coupling the classroom with experiential learning, however, creates a multi-dimensional environment that significantly leverages the learning process. By enabling our students to leverage their professional work experience with skills learned in the classroom, these accelerators close the gap between theory and practice. They help us deliver on our promise to our corporate partners, those who recruit our graduates, that we produce individuals who can get the job done and add value to their organizations from day one.

Several successful experiential learning initiatives have served to differentiate the educational process at the UConn School of Business - allowing students to acquire a business education like no other.

Learning Accelerators offered by the UConn School of Business include:

  • Corporate MBA Residency
  • GE edgelab
  • Innovation Accelerator
  • MBA Integration Project
  • SS&C Technologies Financial Accelerator
  • Student Managed Investment Fund (SMF)
