Get Your Business Head on Straight

Fuqua Client Consulting Practicum


The goal of the Fuqua Client Consulting Practicum (FCCP) is to enhance students’ business education by developing collaborative consulting engagements with businesses and nonprofit organizations in which our students assist their client organizations in addressing existing and emerging challenges.

FCCP’s success has been built on establishing a mutually beneficial relationship in which client organizations receive valuable business advice and students enhance their educational experience by applying the new skills they learn in their classes to a practical, real-world project.

About 850 daytime MBA students attend Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business; these students average 5+ years of work experience between receiving their undergraduate degrees and coming to Fuqua. The expertise from this pool of talent, combined with the resources of the Fuqua School, allows the FCCP to provide consultation in most functional areas. The list includes, but is not limited to, the following:

– Accounting Systems/ Business Ratios
– Entrepreneurial Business Planning and Implementation
– Financial Planning and Control
– Growth Management
– Human Resources
– Inventory and Production Control
– IT and Website
– Marketing and Sales
– Operations and Manufacturing
– Risk Analysis
– Strategic Planning
