Annual Case Competition

Join us for our annual case competition

If you are an accounting, data science, actuarial science, finance, or management information systems major you are invited to participate in our annual case competition. Working in teams of three or four students, you'll analyze a unique case about an accounting or ethics topic, one that requires you to use your financial decision making skills. 

Based on your analysis, you and your team will present formal recommendations to a team of professional judges and answer their questions about your recommendation.

The first, second, and third place winners will receive certificates AND gift cards to recognize their success. Everyone will get hands experience that will help them develop their networking, critical thinking, oral presentation, teamwork, and technical skills.

The 2024 Case Competition date is October 12th.
