Engage with our Students!
Partner with us through the Experiential Learning through Partnerships Initiative! Our students can learn from your organization and your organization can benefit from their expertise!
As an economics department at a metropolitan university, we know that practice experience is a critical part of any student's journey. Problems involving real data or situations from organizations codify foundational lessons taught in our core classes.
As a result, many of classes integrate community consulting projects into the class. These projects work on real problems for real organizations. Students learn from the experience and organizations receive free consulting and exposure to possible to new hires.
Typical projects can include:
- Pricing
- Product mix
- Forecasting models
- Statistical inference
- Data cleaning and storage
- General business consulting
Some of our recent clients include:
- Children's Museum
- Stedman's Cafe
- StoveTeam International
- UNO Athletics
- US STRATCOM
- Werner Enterprises
