Katz has a great focus on diversity, because the things that you could learn from real experience with your peers cannot be taught in the classroom. With students ranging from Sports personnel to Chartered Accountant, the experience and amount of learning at the school is incredible.
At Katz, Experienced Based Learning is more important than even the core courses, because it helps you find your strengths, work on those strengths, and gives an opportunity to learn and network.
You do get to work on real cases in Consulting Field Projects, and in a few core classes. Also, there are multiple case competitions that you can participate in, which will be the actual issues that the companies are facing, so there's an opportunity to show your skills, and get some visibility.
