Carlson School of Management - University of Minnesota

The University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management focuses on experiential learning. Students have the opportunity to practice real-world, complex business problems, as well as global projects through hands-on experiences. Students have the opportunity to experience four different Enterprise programs,  Consulting, Brands, Ventures, and Funds. In there enterprise programs students act as consultants, analyzing  challenges and creating value driven results for real clients.

A global approach is at the core of the school’s curriculum. They require each graduate student to integrate an international experience into their studies.
