Barney School of Business Strategic Industry Clusters: Experiential Learning
University of Hartford
Through industry, community, and organizational partnerships, the Barney School of Business works with other colleges to combine traditional learning opportunities with practical, hands-on experiences. Partner initiatives fall into four industry clusters: Actuarial, Risk Management & Insurance (ARMI); Entrepreneurship & Innovation (E&I); Supply Chain & Operations (SCO); and Accounting & Tax (A&T). These clusters draw together engaged students, faculty, external partners, and affiliated University of Hartford organizations (e.g., Entrepreneurial Center and Women’s Business Center), who leverage experiential learning to foster innovation in the community. Faculty and students engage in real-world, innovative projects and other external collaborations that generate tangible impact for industry and partners.
