iJay Practicum

Learn to Run a Business in the iJay Practicum Course

The first student run-Apple™ Authorized Campus Store in the world—and it’s right here at Creighton.

A two-semester class, the iJay Practicum provides an exclusive opportunity for Creighton students to acquire hands-on experience running a retail business. Students are responsible for everything from store financials to digital and social media marketing and branding efforts. Students from a variety of Business and Arts and Sciences majors all take roles that align with their coursework and career aspirations, contributing to the program immediately while also collecting valuable experience for the future.

The iJay Practicum students are collectively running a business. I don't think there's anything more educational than learning business by doing it. At Creighton, we don’t just talk about business. We run businesses!

— Anthony Hendrickson, PhD, Dean, Heider College of Business

“To work for a big brand like Apple that is so recognizable in the mind of consumers has just been an amazing experience. It’s what drew me to join the practicum—the opportunity to work with such a prestigious brand during my academic career.”
