Experiential Learning MBAs

So what schools are known to have a very high percentage of experiential learning courses/opportunities available? I personally know that McCombs has a ton of them available through PLUS courses and challenges and the like and I know that Ross is also well known for its experiential learning (although i dont know what exaclty, just from what I've heard)-- but what other schools put a real focus on the hands on experiential learning rather than shoving case studies and lecture down your throat?

Well most schools will claim to have something. I believe Tuck and NYU also have something. Additionally, Columbia through Master Classes.

 

its not a Top 20 US program but Schulich in Toronto has a course called the Strategy Field Study where you do a real life case study. It lasts for 2 consecutive semesters (8 months) and you form a team and are assigned 3 profs who provde direction through the process and grade you. Each team is responsible for finding their own consulting project. The course is mandatory to graduate.

I figure this as hands on as you can ever really get, but I also hear its hell, must be pretty stresful to find a company, go through the entire consulting project, work within your team and time constraints.
