Since our program’s inception in 2010, all MBS students have finished their degree by completing our Capstone. In this distinctive course, students work in teams to choose an emerging science-derived intellectual property (IP) and develop a business plan to take this IP to market. Capstone allows students to practice skills learned throughout the MBS education, using knowledge of both science and business to commercialize successfully and manage the development of science-intensive enterprises.
