“…Examples include the creation of companies by students complete with products and customers (Miller, 1991) and involving university administration, where community partnerships were established with business leaders, who developed mentoring relationships with the students (Woiwod, 2002). Michaelsen and McCord (2006) have integrated an experiential component into their junior-level core business courses. Inspired by Miller (1991), Michaelsen and McCord integrated the principles in three core courses, with an intensive hands-on experience where students had the "opportunity to practice using basic business concepts .…”

This article reviews andragogy as the philosophy resident in the broad arena of experience-based learning. Beneath the umbrella of experience-based learning lie the specific classroom orientations of student-centered learning, problem-based learning, and classrooms as organizations. These orientations contribute to the creation of autonomy-supportive classrooms that focus more fully on student experience as a means to greater learning. The exhaustive review of the literature on student experience in teaching environments is the foundation for claims to fuller integration of this approach and discussion that focuses on the student as the original reason for the existence of the classroom. The article closes with a call for more student-focused andragogy, its relevance for Millennial learners, and recommendations for educators.

“…The purpose of this paper is to describe a program in which students learn to do hands-on business and community service work. The program, called the Integrative Business Experience (IBE-see Michaelsen & McCord, 2006), requires students to enroll concurrently in three required core business courses and a practicum course in which they develop and operate a start-up business (based on an actual bank loan of up to $5,000) and use company profits to carry out a hands-on community service project. By creating and running both a business and service venture, the students engage in activities and outcomes that touch on all four of Kolb's Stages of Learning.…”

This paper describes an interdisciplinary undergraduate curriculum innovation that links classroom learning to hands-on business and community service work. The program, called the Integrative Business Experience (IBE), requires students to enroll concurrently in three required core business courses and a practicum course in which they develop and operate a start-up business (based on an actual bank loan of up to $5,000) and use company profits to carry out a hands-on community service project. The IBE program is by nature a set of applied learning courses that clearly fulfill Kolb’s four steps in the Cycle of Learning and produces a wide variety of positive outcomes. This paper will explain the need for applied learning in business and how the IBE program is structured. Then, after an overview of Kolb’s Cycle of Learning (1984), the paper will apply IBE to Kolb’s four stages: 1) Concrete Experience, 2) Reflective Observation, 3) Abstract Conceptualization, and 4) Active Experimentation.
