Global Consulting Project

The Global Consulting Project is the program’s capstone course where students apply many of the skills learned throughout the curriculum to a real-world consulting project for an overseas client in teams of three to four other classmates. The course consists of assigned readings and class discussions about the business, cultural, and political climate of the client’s home country. The course concludes with a trip to make an in-person presentation of each team’s project analysis and recommendation(s) to their client. Students will also participate in cultural visits to learn more about their client’s home country.

Student Learning Objectives

By the end of this course students will be able to:

• Integrate knowledge obtained from prior coursework and apply it to the solution of current problems faced by an international firm or organization
• Learn about the business, cultural, and political climate of their client’s home country
• Better conduct international business with comfort and confidence in a foreign culture and improve managerial mobility (the ability to complete a job wherever it needs to be done)
• Improve problem-solving ability, analytical skills, skills of synthesis, and communication skills

One of the reasons I chose the MSF program was because of the global consulting project. The academics during the program are challenging, but the consulting project challenges you in other ways, and I think ultimately makes us better professionals.
