Case Competitions

Case competitions allow students to work together in a competitive setting against other teams to try and develop the best solution to a business case study within an allocated time frame. Judges rate teams’ presentations based on their proposed solution to the case study problem. Case competitions allow students the opportunity to work together, use their education and experience in a time-sensitive situation and exposes them to industry executives.
