Gain leadership skills and insights through this unique, immersive experience for university students
In our fall 2026 Crowe National Case Competition, teams composed of college freshmen and sophomores will be asked to provide a solution to a modern business problem. After a preliminary round of judging, selected teams will move on to the final round, where they will present their solution.
The Crowe National Case Competition program is a great opportunity for high-achieving students to gain firsthand experience with Crowe through interactive problem-solving, career exploration, and professional networking. After competing in the case competition, students should have a better idea of which areas in our firm – audit, tax, advisory, or consulting – might be the best fit for potential future internships or full-time roles.
