The Interchange

Let our top talent apply their analytical skills and fresh perspectives to your business challenge. 

The Interchange program builds teams of top Marquette student talent to address real business challenges sponsored by industry partners.

  • All of the projects are custom-scoped with our partners and are not bound to the academic calendar. This program is co-curricular so projects do not need to be embedded in specific courses.
  • The students recruited for our Interchange teams come faculty-recommended and are hand-selected based on the required disciplines needed to successfully complete the work.
  • All project teams are also supported by expert faculty. 

What Sponsors Can Expect

  • Custom duration, anywhere from an 8-week sprint up to 16 weeks or longer depending on sponsorship funding and project complexity. 
  • Groups of 4-6 undergraduate, graduate, or mixed student teams addressing projects. Can include multiple disciplines as necessary. 
  • Faculty supervision by at least one Marquette University expert faculty member. 
  • Final deliverables and presentations to senior leadership as desired.
