Learning Beyond the Classroom

Elon MBA students grow their skills and leadership ability outside the classroom through our program’s signature experiences, which include expanding global perspectives by engaging in an international study experience in Asia or Europe, discussing management decisions and lessons from senior executives through the Lessons from Leaders series, and analyzing a business case and presenting strategic recommendations during the annual capstone case competition.
