IE Consulting Project (ICP)
LawWithoutWalls (LWOW)
As part of the electives, the ICP is led by one of IE’s Operations Professors and allows students to work firsthand with a Fortune 100 company on a consulting project to gain real world experience in identifying and solving problems in management. Students, after undergoing a selection process, work closely with the company to understand the project scope. After several months of conducting research, on-site visits and receiving mentoring from our faculty participants, the students present their findings and recommendations to the company’s executives. ICP provides a unique experience to gain hands-on experience and put the MBA toolkit into practice.
LWOW is an elective offering in collaboration with the University of Miami that places students with diverse backgrounds at the intersection of entrepreneurship, law and education. Those selected, including profiles other than lawyers, have the unique opportunity to learn about the legal sector, pinpoint potential needs and develop solutions using business approaches. Students work in virtual teams to turn ideas into viable business plans while receiving mentorship from an extensive network of elite professionals from different sectors.

In addition, language classes in both English and Spanish are provided throughout the program to encourage students to broaden their skill sets, challenge themselves further, and to explore career paths globally. These classes take place on a weekly basis during the entire length of the program and last 1.5 hrs. In order to take advantage of the full yearly package, students must pass level tests that are given at the end of each term to ensure they fulfill the requirements of the coursework and demonstrate advancement in their language skills.
