Theory is one thing. Reality is another. Especially in business, where unexpected forces can disrupt supply chains, upset markets, or make the unlikeliest campaign go viral.
Learning is always improved when you can see the connection between theory and real life examples, which is why Capella University and The Wall Street Journal recently announced a collaboration that gives business students and faculty full access to the contents of WSJ.com, the Journal’s online site. Giving students the opportunity to track real-time stories and trends will enhance the overall educational experience, university officials say, because students will be able to see firsthand how business theories play out across a wide range of industries.
Students can use WSJ.com to:
- Track companies and industries that interest them.
- Research topics relevant to their courses and careers.
- Monitor statistics and economic reports.
- Save and share pertinent articles with other students.
“We’re pleased to be able to offer our business students an even richer academic experience through our collaboration with the Journal,” said Barbara Butts Williams, dean of Business at Capella’s School of Business and Technology. “Our students can use the Journal to make sense of the evolving world of business today, just like decision makers and top leaders in industry and commerce do. WSJ.com is a great resource for students to have at their fingertips as they explore the ins and outs of business.”
