MBA Integrated Management Projects

Where business theory meets real-world impact

Integrated Management Project + Articulation and Critical Thinking (IMPACT) brings your UC Davis MBA to life.

In this 10-week capstone, you'll team up to solve real business problems for companies, startups, nonprofits or UC partners. Guided by faculty advisors with industry experience, you’ll deliver actionable solutions backed by research and analysis.

Along the way, you’ll sharpen skills across core business areas—from finance and marketing to analytics and strategy—with a focus on ethics, sustainability and global thinking.

What You’ll Gain:

Real-World Experience: Tackle live business challenges—not just case studies.
Industry Connection: Collaborate with top companies and expert faculty.
Career-Ready Skills: Build strengths in analysis, strategy and communication.

This is hands-on learning with real-world stakes, and a competitive edge that lasts.
