Case Competition

UCCS Case Competition

Ready for some friendly competition?

Each year, the UCCS College of Business hosts a business ethics case competition.  The UCCS Ethics Case Competition allows students to apply business knowledge, critical thinking, and principle-based ethical decision-making to real-world ethical situations along with a chance to network with local professionals. For those looking to practice their ethical decision-making skills, fine tune their public speaking talents, and demonstrate their presentation skills before experts in their fields ̶ this event is the one for you!

Thank you to our participating schools and teams for making the 2023 UCCS Ethics Case Competition a success!
