How to prep for consulting in the Notre Dame MBA program
By: Brad Wise
Consulting is one of the most popular post-MBA career choices for incoming students each year. Here is a look at some of the resources and opportunities available for Notre Dame MBA students considering a career in consulting:
Academics

But the value from the mod abroad program goes so much deeper than warm weather and full-bodied Malbecs. Continue reading “Dispatches from Chile: A mod abroad”
Repping ND at case competitions
By: Matthew Kurtulik
Case competitions are enriching from a personal and professional standpoint, and the abundance of opportunities such as case competitions are one of the best reasons to get a Notre Dame MBA. Case competitions are a great way to build camaraderie with your classmates, to hone your problem-solving skills, and to expand your network.
Notre Dame has a Case Competition Committee that finds case competitions and communicates those opportunities to MBA students. The competitions are hosted by other MBA programs, and they cover an array of topics ranging from stock-picking to introducing sustainability ideas in a corporate setting.
