For those of you interested in pursuing a consulting career after B-School, here is an interesting read about a student consulting project at Tuck. I think this is a good example of the types of things that consulting-heavy programs frequently offer. The article doesn't specify, but I imagine that this project was part of the Tuck Student Consulting Services. I it is safe to say that even if you aren't planning on going into MC, projects like this seem to offer a great way to apply what you are learning, while you are still learning it, and that has to add value to anyone going into business.
There is another lesson in this for businesses. If you are looking for new ideas for your business and have a business school in the region, it's probably worth your time to contact them. A relationship like this is mutually beneficial to both the school and the business.
