About the Program
The Business Consulting Course with associated experiential learning equips you to work as a practitioner in a real-world enterprise. Be guided through a professional consulting project and, as part of a team, research a business or finance concern or deficiency, define the problem, then pitch your solution. In this Business Consulting project with a business administration and finance focus you will learn how you can apply business and management consulting as well as financial consulting and even market research, communication, and PR skills to have a meaningful impact on a local enterprise.
Businesses face significant challenges in the post-2020 landscape. Sharply rising costs, squeezed consumer budgets, a crowded digital marketplace, and stiff competition to recruit and retain talent are just some of the concerns facing organisations looking to bounce back from the shock of the pandemic. In an environment full of challenges and opportunities, fresh perspectives and innovative approaches are essential as businesses chart the way forward. The Business and Finance stream provides students with the structure and opportunity to address business challenges and to be part of the solution. Learn the foundations of business and financial administration, while being part of a team that works within these areas for a local enterprise. Put your consulting skills into practice in this dynamic field, no matter your degree background, and make a tangible difference to business outcomes.

Program Structure
The required Business Consulting course is comprised of both a flipped classroom-style online academic course and a locally based business consulting project that will require you to meet regularly with clients and conduct group work outside of class. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about your assigned company through in-person or virtual meetings and by visiting their facilities/operations, conducting market research, creating relationships, ideating proposals and solutions, all of which will culminate in a consulting proposal.
In addition to your 3-credit business consulting course and project, you will choose 3-4 additional CEA CAPA courses to take from the catalog of course options available to you. This provides you with the opportunity to gain professional experience while also making progress toward your degree requirements and engaging in classes that afford a richer cultural experience.
Courses meet for 45 contact hours/3 credits. Overall, you may earn 12-15 credits. CEA CAPA courses meet Monday through Thursday.
Prior to departure, you will select your preferred courses. You will be enrolled into courses based on their availability. It is in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home university prior to your departure due to course availabilities. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home university on credit pre-approval guidelines.
