First Fidelity Bank Integrated Business Core

In the Price College of Business First Fidelity Integrated Business Core Program, students get real world experience by starting their own companies and selling a particular product to the University of Oklahoma and the surrounding community. From brainstorming and market analysis, to managing employees and the legal implications of business transactions, to selling products and closing the books on the last sale, IBC develops the skills it takes to launch a successful business. All proceeds generated from the sales of each company's product go to local non-profit organizations. Along with this, each company puts in approximately 500 hours of community service each semester.

Companies formed through this program have donated their profits of over $830,000 to local charities since it started in 1985. IBC has also donated over 36,000 hours of community service. The faculty dedicated to this program are working to provide a practical application to the education of OU/Price College business students. For more information, visit the IBC Website.
