No course mirrors life in the modern business world more than IMPACT, Goizueta’s signature approach to MBA experiential learning. In this program, students dive into the “how” and “why” of business, then partner with for- and not-for-profit companies to work on real client-centered projects.

It starts with a core session in the fall where students learn the fundamental principles and processes that enable companies to structure and solve problems efficiently. Then, IMPACT 360: Client Project is introduced. Goizueta’s unparalleled access to the business community allows students to connect and collaborate with a wide range of companies—from Fortune 500s to international nonprofits to local start-ups.

Teams work on addressing critical client issues across all industries. For example, students have created social media strategies to help The Home Depot connect with millennials purchasing their starter homes. Others advised General Electric on how best to adopt more sustainable and profitable solutions. And others worked side-by-side with the American Cancer Society, The United Way, Beats by Dre, or countless others on innovative solutions across functions and industries. Along the way, you will expand your network by working with expert business leaders and faculty who will help you to grow your skills and leverage their research, resources, and expertise.
