Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

When I got my admission to Fuqua, I was not even considering becoming a consultant. To be honest, I did not even know what a consultant does.

I worked with teammates from diverse backgrounds, ranging from management consulting to private equity, to help position a surgical robot against a competitor.

The opportunity to get my hands dirty working on a real-life business problem, and see the impact we were making in real-time, went far beyond classroom learning for me.

I came to business school with many goals for my personal and professional development, but my career goal was singular: I was going to get a job in consulting.

Fuqua Client Consulting Practicum is an experiential learning opportunity for students to work on consulting engagements with businesses and nonprofits around the world. First-year and second-year MBAs work in teams to assist client organizations with challenges across a number of industries and fields such as marketing, strategy, and operations.
