Students must choose a company for their course project where they have a solid understanding of the business, access to real data, and positive relationships with current employees or leadership. Ideally, this should be your current employer, but alternatives include your start-up, a family member’s business, a non-profit you are connected with, or a former employer with whom you have a good relationship. If you are unemployed or work in a field where using company information is restricted (such as the military or government), consider a different capstone option unless you have explicit permission to do so. Contact the course instructor before registering if you need to discuss alternative choices.

Students are encouraged to use their own employer, a personal entrepreneurial venture, or a non-profit they have intimate knowledge of for their project.
