The capstone project allows students opportunity to use the knowledge and skills they learned in ISAT to address a real-world problem, and receive valuable hands-on experience. Students are required to produce a final project report, both in written form and in the form of an oral presentation to the faculty, their student peers, and the public. &nbsp;</span></span></span></span>

The program responds to the realization that the business world outside of the university setting is increasingly getting faster so the content of the class aligns with functional topics. While in the curriculum the student is required to take a international trip to one of three countries and gain leaderships skills through workshops. Overall, the Innovation MBA provides the graduate with a competitive advantage for approaching problems in a business setting.</span></span></span>
