Are their any other advantages available to companies?
One advantage that has benefited companies enormously
is the Capstone Project. Students enrolled in degree
programs complete a focused Capstone Project at the
conclusion of their coursework. This project allows
students to apply the knowledge and skills acquired
in their courses to the work environment. This project
is completely individualized; students are encouraged
to select work-related projects that are of particular
interest to them and that will result in professional
growth and benefit the organization.
Students are encouraged to talk to their supervisors
to identify important projects that need doing or
topics that are being considered for assignment.
Aspen graduates have saved companies thousands of
dollars in consulting fees and at the same time produced
solutions that are already adjusted and aligned with
the existing company culture. The involvement of experienced
faculty many of whom are still practitioners insures
that the capstone product is sound, innovative, and
cost-effective.
