Business Consulting Practicum

Are you looking to make your business better? Campbell MBA students can partner with eligible business owners to find ways to improve the competitiveness and profitability of the business. This is a free and confidential service offered three times a year—fall, spring, and summer (in-person and virtual). We serve businesses located in the greater Harnett County area, which includes Chatham, Cumberland, Hoke, Johnston, Lee, Moore, Sampson and Wake Counties. 

How It Works

An MBA student team will adopt your business for an 8-week project to analyze your business and learn about your business goals and objectives. They will collaborate with you to identify opportunities for improvement and generate short-term and long-term recommendations to improve the competitiveness and profitability of your business.  

The Business Consulting Practicum primarily serves small and midsize businesses located in the greater Harnett County area, which includes Chatham, Cumberland, Hoke, Johnston, Lee, Moore, Sampson and Wake Counties.
