The Capstone Consulting Experience gives students the opportunity to solve a strategic
problem facing an organization. Since its launch in 1973 as one of the first student
consulting and research programs in the U.S., the Capstone Consulting Experience has
prepared graduate students to consult with business leaders. MBA students in the Capstone
Consulting Experience have completed over 900 projects for more than 500 companies
including Fortune 1000 firms, entrepreneurial ventures and nonprofit organizations.
The Capstone Consulting Experience is the culmination of a MBA student's education put into practice to address an organization’s strategic or operational issues. Students combine work experience and knowledge from their practical business education to develop solutions for their client firms.
The Capstone Consulting Experience provides a cost-effective solution for corporations, nonprofits, and governments that lack the time, budgets, or human resources to address specific strategic initiatives. Consulting projects are carried out by teams of students working under the supervision of a professor with extensive consulting and project management experience.
The Capstone Consulting Experience has been a valuable resource for hundreds of organizations, providing actionable solutions to business problems or opportunities for growth. If you would like your organization to benefit from the Capstone Consulting Experience, please contact Rebecca Almanza at ralmanza@udallas.edu.
