What is the Integrated Business Experience
(IBE)?

IBE is a set of three classes (Marketing, Management, and Computer Information Systems) plus a practicum where we essentially start a business with our classmates.

The remaining profit we collect after paying off our bank loan and supplier will go toward the service project of our choice. We chose the Warrensburg Animal Shelter and the Warrensburg Middle School's outdoor classroom.

IBE Companies Give Back

IBE requires students to complete a number of service hours over the course of the semester and donate the net profit of the company to the charity of the companie's choice
Mo^TMUndercover donated over 187 service hours to both the animal shelter and the outdoor classroom, averaging out to be about 10 hours per individual in our company. To date, students at UCM have donated their profits exceeding $30,931 as well as donating over 2026 service hours to their charities of choice.

General Mission Statement of
(IBE):

IBE's mission is to create a hands-on 'real world' experience of starting a business in a classroom setting. It incorporates the ability of using the terminology and knowledge we gain from the three classes and letting students apply what they learn to their companies. Everything from contacting and working with suppliers and middlemen to the process of getting our company logo trademarked is included with the use of  practicum class time.
