Capstone and Partnerships: A Successful Collaboration​

Fairfield University’s online MS in Marketing Analytics & Strategy program offers capstone projects where students collaborate directly with real businesses on marketing challenges. By applying their analytical and strategic skills, they develop comprehensive marketing proposals and socially responsible recommendations. This hands-on experience not only reinforces their coursework but also connects them with Fairfield’s robust alumni network

"The capstone prepares students for their future careers and allows them to demonstrate the skills they've learned throughout the program."
Julie Marella
Program Director
  • Goal 1: Work with a business and be able to provide them with a marketing proposal and identify a project where we can help them.
