The World Collegiate Sales Open (WCSO) is designed to provide an educational opportunity for sales students regardless of their location around the world. The competition is an educational experience designed to mimic real world activities that a sales representative would need to master, which may not be part of college curriculums.

The top 20 will become Finalists for the Championship Rounds held at Northern Illinois University, February 21-23, 2013. Students graduating prior to May 2013 are welcome to participate in the Qualifying Rounds only. To be selected for the Finals, students must be enrolled through May 2013.
