The mantra of the BW Carmel Boyer School of Business is "Learn by doing."

In the classroom, this means that BW faculty go beyond books and lectures to focus on real-world application. Outside the classroom, we extend this philosophy by connecting talented students to businesses and organizations throughout Northeast Ohio and beyond.

One of our signature experiential learning programs is the Digital Marketing Center (DMC), a hands-on, student-driven consultancy that provides organizations with effective, research-based marketing strategies; new digital properties; and engaging, customer-focused content using proven inbound methodologies and the latest best practices.
