Capstone Cup
Bringing the boardroom experience to CBA students
Congratulations to the fall 2018 Capstone Cup Winners and to all of the students who took part in the competition.
The Challenge
Students are placed in the role of a consulting firm and asked to analyze and develop recommendations to a complex business problem.
Working under pressure, student teams have 10 days to digest a complex business situation, develop a creative and practical solution, and build a presentation that incorporates their analyses and recommendations.
Critical thinking and teamwork permeate every part of the competition.
Benefits
- Unique integration into CBA's 16-week undergraduate capstone strategy course
- A real-time professional development experience for students
- Enhanced engagement with alumni and local business community
- A prime opportunity for employers to identify up-and-coming talent
