Our students explore innovative theories with professors, fusing knowledge with learning experiences that include cooperative education or corporate residency, study abroad, and community service. Similarly, the School's resulting connections with the corporate world influence its research agendas, which, in turn, shape innovative new business practices. This synergy enables D'Amore-McKim students to become successful business leaders who are both thinkers and doers, and thus highly qualified to think critically and leave their mark on the global business world.
