Hands-On Learning Opportunities

The Rady School is committed to providing you with exciting experiential learning opportunities. Our curriculum will place you in team-based projects in various courses, and we actively work with companies who have compelling projects and are looking to work with our innovative high-caliber students. You will complete projects for academic credit under faculty supervision in several formats.

Capstone Project: Rady Action Project

As a student at Rady, you will have the opportunity to take part in the Rady Action Project (RAP), which  includes a choice between a New Venture track, and a Consulting track. For the New Venture track, you will work with other students in teams and evaluate the commercial potential of various business opportunities. Project ideas must be significant market opportunities in the science and technology sectors including sustainability and social enterprise innovations that have a base in science or technology.

Independent Study

You may also engage in Independent Study under the direction of esteemed Rady faculty. Most Independent Study projects are proposed by companies or nonprofit organizations. Rady faculty agree to supervise student teams on specific projects based on their educational value for your Rady MBA.

Short projects in other classes

Some Rady electives include projects that often allow students to identify companies for their required projects. The learning objectives are specific to the particular course and instructor.
