As part of the Johns Hopkins MS in Engineering Management program, students embark on an exciting journey that takes them directly to clients’ locations. Collaborating in small, dynamic teams, our students will dive deep into addressing some of the most pressing business challenges today. This hands-on experience occurs in the Practice of Consulting course, offered during the intersession semester (January) of their first year.
These immersion projects are truly transformative. Students will not only hone their analytical skills but also engage with diverse, multidisciplinary teams from around the globe, discover local economies, navigate unique market dynamics, and immerse themselves in unforgettable cultural experiences. Immersion turns academic knowledge into actionable insights, all while leaving a lasting impact on communities around the world.
