Immersion Learning
Entrepreneurship and Private Equity
The Entrepreneurship and Private Equity Immersion provides a foundation of knowledge in private equity. It is designed for MBA candidates who want to start high-growth businesses or engage in private equity investments (venture capital, leveraged buyouts, or midrange mergers and acquisitions).
The immersion consists of required courses covering Entrepreneurship and Private equity, three practicum courses (Leveraged Buyouts. Due Diligence in Private Equity Investments, and The Venture Capital and Private Equity Industry), Valuation Principles, Managerial Cost Accounting, Strategic Alliances, and two core courses (Managing Operations and Managing & Leading in Organizations) . One and a half credits in electives are also required. Immersion and core courses are taught by Johnson School faculty members and industry practitioners.
Participants learn through a mix of case studies, practical application of knowledge, and lectures.
