bridging the gap

Spring Theory connects universities and companies around meaningful collaborations. These experiential learning opportunities enrich real world experiences for students and provide unique solutions for companies.

What We Do

We engage courses from the nation’s top universities to create a company-proposed project — from design, consumer insight, digital marketing, and everything in between — leading to successful corporate university partnerships that benefit both students and companies alike. At the end of each semester, students present their ideas and recommendations to our company partners as food for thought. These ideas frequently become springboards for implementation.

Spring Theory's industry network includes hundreds of leading companies, including over 30% of the Interbrand Best Global Brands
