Brass Ring Program

The Brass Ring program, launched in 1998, provides five-person teams of undergraduate business students (made up of 4 McCombs students plus an International Exchange student) the opportunity to gain real-world experience through course related project work with central Texas companies and organizations. Brass Ring teams define, develop, plan, and execute projects related to their academic or career interests, utilizing proven performance excellence principles. Completion of the program meets undergraduate internship requirements.

Students typically devote 6 hours per week working with their sponsoring organization and 1-2 hours each week working on project activities outside of the facility, as well as enroll in OM 366P / Operations Management Practicum which meets weekly for 3 hours.

Successful completion of the program provides practical business experience, achieves bottom-line impacts for sponsoring organizations, and offers credible resume information for summer internship and employment recruiting purposes.

Now sponsored and supported by the Supply Chain Management Center of Excellence (SCMC), the Brass Ring Program provides interaction with the SCMC sponsor companies along with several Austin-area organizations.
