The Directed Work Experience (DWE) allows you to build your network, resume, and business acumen. The DWE is a paid position that gives you marketable work experience.
At Lipscomb, we know our students need to apply their classroom knowledge in a real-world setting to be an effective employee upon graduation. Through our innovative Directed Work Experience (DWE) program - a component of the Fast Track MBA program - students are strategically matched with employer partners. Originally implemented as part of the Master of Management program in 2013, the results have been overwhelmingly positive for both employers and students.
