The best way to learn the nuances and challenges of a global business world is to experience it directly. Through a semester-long elective course in one of our eligible MBA programs, you can work with a team of fellow students to solve a challenge for a real multinational firm—and add a significant consulting project to your resumé. You'll work directly with company leaders, building your cultural awareness and developing tech-forward, data-driven solutions that make a real impact. 

Your consulting engagement may involve almost any industry and may span several functional areas, including finance, marketing, and strategy. This course typically includes a week of international travel to one of our global employer partners, which have included such well-known names as Cisco Portugal and TJX Europe. 

I worked on a team charged with making a recommendation on a potential new product launch for a large multinational food/beverage company in Latin America. I worked directly with the client and improved my skills in client communication, market analysis, and creating a formal recommendation presentation.
