All students in the Johns Hopkins Master of Science in Engineering Management program enroll in our management track‘s Practice of Consulting course, a course that runs during the intersession semester (January) of students’ first year of study. Over intersession, you will travel to your client’s location and work intensively in small teams, researching potential solutions to your client’s most pressing problems.
Immersion projects are transformative, allowing you to collaborate on real-world projects in multidisciplinary, multicultural teams; learn about local economies and markets; and engage in memorable cultural experiences.
