Minor in Consulting

The new consulting minor prepares students to manage people, processes and strategies in all types of organizations and to consult with organizational leaders on these issues. These skills are needed by students in business, engineering, computer science, agriculture and science disciplines to get a job in consulting and excel in any job. Students will learn how to manage consulting projects, make recommendations based on data analytical analysis, implement change, and use a consulting process in working with executives. Students will apply their acquired knowledge to a consulting project and will also have a consulting internship.

Minor Track Options

Track 1: General Consulting for Business and Industry

Graduates with this minor and the appropriate technical training will be attractive candidates for employment in the world’s largest consulting firms like Accenture, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, etc. They will also be attractive candidates in technical consulting firms for engineering, agriculture, accounting, etc. There is a current unmet demand for qualified graduates in the consulting industry and for managers with consulting skills. This will create strong career paths for students in engineering, finance, accounting, and other disciplines.

Track 2: Small Business/Micro-enterprise Consulting

This track focuses on consulting small businesses, micro-ventures and social enterprises. The second track prepares graduates to work for Non-Governmental organizations, Not-for-Profits and Governmental organizations that focus on economically disenfranchised individuals wishing to launch a business. This track will have a larger emphasis on working with new start-up businesses, particularly in less developed countries through one-on-one coaching, teaching and advising.
