Memorial’s MBA-SEE is highly experiential with a structured class schedule that students undertake together. All students will complete:

• A one-week orientation
• Two academic semesters
• A four-month internship

Students are expected to participate in special events, field trips and more in order to learn from social enterprises in the community, solidify connections and gain a fully immersive social enterprise experience.
