This is a Business School course, cross-listed with the Law School.
The Startup Consulting Practicum (formerly known as the TVL Practicum) is an intensive lecture, case study and project-based course that focuses on developing skills for researching business idea viability and delivering compelling presentations. Students in this course are divided into cross-disciplinary teams that are matched with Texas-based startup companies to help tackle their business challenges. Students participate in semester-long consulting projects solving important problems alongside the company’s founders in a hands-on approach using the academic foundations of entrepreneurship and business modeling. Students learn valuable skills such as project management, client relations, team collaboration, market validation, competitive research, price modeling and business analysis.
Students must submit a complete application, attend an information session and be selected to participate in the Consulting Startup Practicum. Full course requirements and qualifications will be reviewed with students during information sessions offered before the registration period for each semester.
This is a full semester course that can only be taken for a grade. The course requires meeting during the scheduled class time and work to be conducted in between classes.
