Integrated Business Project

The Integrated Business Project (IBP) is the cornerstone of the OSU College of Business MBA Program.  It requires students to write a business plan for a new venture, deeply integrating each course within the program into one comprehensive product.  Students form groups at the beginning of the program, work closely with a team to develop their plan and eventually compete for prizes in the annual Business Plan Competition, which includes an "elevator pitch session," held in March.
