IBE At A Glance

Integrative Business Experience (IBE) is a 12 credit hour block that the UCM offers. The IBE block makes up three classes a Management, CIS, Marketing, and the IBE practicum. The main focus for the IBE black is to get students to have hands on experience with the real world. The program is set up that the class is split in to three groups. Every group is a considered a company. Class meets three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and on Friday from 9-12 then a company meting from 12-1.   Within these companies meetings the company has to come up with a product, apply for a loan, sell the product, and pay the loan back. This makes for a fast and full semester.

Giving Back to the Community

The second part of the IBE block is a Service.  As a company the students have to decide on to what charitable organization to donate their profits to. Also the company is to participate in a service project. This gives the companies an idea of what it is like to be part of a non-profit organization.
