The Carlson Consulting Enterprise (CCE) gives students the opportunity to learn how to “think like a consultant” whether or not they choose to pursue a consulting career. Students develop the critical skill-set of identifying, analyzing and solving complex problems. They will have the opportunity to participate in projects with premier companies, develop relationships with recognized business leaders, and differentiate themselves from other job candidates from competing top-ranked schools.

The CCE is open to full-time MBA; joint MBA/MHA or MBA/JD; and undergraduate Honors students at the Carlson school. Our graduate students have on average five years of experience in diverse industries and functional areas, and our undergraduates are Juniors or Seniors in the Carlson Honors program with an average GPA of 3.9.

Graduate students spend the b-term of their first year and their entire second year with the CCE; Undergraduates students will be in the CCE for the spring semester of their junior year and the fall semester of their senior year. Students earn credits for their work in the CCE and must stay in the program for the stated time to receive their final grade and credits.
