The Global Client Project (GCP) course provides students with hands-on experience delivering business consulting services to international non-governmental organizations and social enterprises. Over the course of the project, students apply core business frameworks to solve complex challenges while navigating the cultural, economic, and operational realities of global markets. By combining classroom learning, independent research, and in-country field experience, GCP bridges theory and practice in a meaningful way.
