Students gain hands-on international experience through the Tuck Global Consultancy course, which gives second years the chance to put their education into practice worldwide. Since 1997, students have consulted with approximately 100 global organizations on more than 160 projects in more than 50 countries.  On-site consulting projects are led by small teams of students working under the supervision of Tuck professors with extensive consulting backgrounds.  A large percentage of the second-year class participates in this elective, defining projects in the spring or early fall, then traveling to their assigned countries in either August and September or November and December to perform on-site research and analysis.
