New projects are being accepted for the "Fully Employed MBA" (FEMBA) Fall 2024 semester. Project teams will start working with their project Sponsors around the 2nd week of September, 2024. [SPECIAL OFFER: Project applications submitted by 6/30/2024 will be eligible for a 50% discount off of the normal $5000 fee! Contact Roger Herzler (rherzler@csusm.edu) for more information about this limited time offer.] The deadline to submit projects for FEMBA Fall 2024 is 8/2/2024, but this deadline may be extended as needed. *Projects submitted after 8/2/2024 may be considered for the Summer 2025 Specialized MBA program instead. **While every effort is made to provide a project team to our Sponsors, submission of a project does not guarantee that a project will be matched with students. ***PLEASE NOTE: In-person interactions between students and Sponsors are allowed, but the use of remote or virtual meeting technology is encouraged due to health concerns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sponsors are asked to describe their needs for in-person vs. remote interactions in the "Based on the nature of the project…" section of this Sponsor Application. Sponsors do not need to have licenses for remote meeting software. Students have access to Campus resources that enable those virtual interactions (i.e. Zoom or Teams). ****It's strongly suggested that prior to submitting this application, Sponsors should discuss their project needs, details and fees with Roger Herzler, if they have not already done so. His contact information is rherzler@csusm.edu or 760-750-4236. A fee of $5000 per project is charged after a team has been assigned and is used to offset program costs.
Please include preferred meeting format details based on the 'Based on the nature of this project, please list the working hours during which the student team will, at times, need to be on-site at your organization' section of this sponsor application.
As part of their participation in the Masters Experience Program, students must sign a "STUDENT GUIDELINES AGREEMENT". This form addresses confidentiality issues and will be a substitute for any confidentiality agreement requested from the participating organizations. If you need to review this document, please request a copy BEFORE submitting your project.
If this project is selected, I REQUIRED agree that our organization will provide the necessary time and resources to assist the student consulting team in satisfactorily completing this project.
