Learn more about case competitions“Participating in the Deloitte Case Competition was perhaps one of the best experiences I had to bring my classroom knowledge into a real-life consulting scenario. I learned that business is truly multi-faceted, and my team was able to produce stronger recommendations to the Deloitte practitioners, judges, and UNC professors with all of our varied backgrounds. It was an incredible learning opportunity to apply my business knowledge from the classroom into the real world."
