MOB3534 Management Consulting Field Experience
4 General Credits
The Management Consulting Field Experience (MCFE) course provides an excellent opportunity for students to apply principles that they learn in the classroom to real-world consulting projects. The students gain practical experience by solving actual business situations. Students also develop key skills in teamwork and collaboration, thought leadership, communications, and decision-making. Teams of four to six undergraduate students work as a consulting group for a sponsor company, ranging in size from small start-ups to large global companies in a variety of organizational sectors. The students meet and work with representatives of the company, analyze a company’s core problem, and explore possible solutions. Previous projects include marketing, corporate finance, investment management, human resources, data analytics, and business strategy. The project concludes with a formal report and a presentation to the sponsor company comprising the group's recommendations.
