Make the Leap...

About Consulting Club

In recent years, consulting firms have become increasingly interested in recruiting students with advanced, non-MBA degrees. Accordingly, these students have shown a growing interest in management consulting as a career option. The Consulting Club at MIT exists to help graduate students at MIT make the leap into the world of consulting by offering resources targeted at non-MBA graduate students,

recognizing both their unique strengths and limited exposure to business fundamentals.

The CCM focuses on fostering relationships among students interested in consulting and on offering them training. We further attempt to link students and consulting firms. Lastly, we also recognize the importance of connecting students with alumni and alumnae in consulting.

The CCM is managed by its Executive Council, a core group of dedicated graduate students, who are charged with organizing events and pulling together resources for the benefit of their peers.

The CCM connects students, firms, and alumni

The Consulting Club at MIT sees itself as the bridge between non-MBA graduate students at MIT and the world of management consulting. We therefore focus on students, consulting firms, and alumni.Students We hope to draw more of MIT’s talented student population into the world of management consulting. We introduce them to firm recruiters and to alumni and alumnae who could help them make the leap to management consulting.Firms We have observed an increasing interest on the part of consulting firms in recruiting advanced-degree MIT students.

MIT students are a great fit for management consulting

MIT students possess those qualities which management consulting recruiters cite as most important in candidates.

Problem solving and analytical abilities are perhaps the most obvious strength of MIT students, who spend several years analyzing and solving science and engineering conundrums.Many MIT students have good leadership abilities and take part in

group activities. There are currently over 150 student-led organizations on campus, providing students with ample opportunity to lead and participate. The Institute has an active graduate student government as well as cultural, charitable, and scientific organizations.MIT students strive to make an impact on the world through their work. The Institute has generated hundreds of billions of dollars

through its innovation, much of which is credited to the work of graduate students. Students often participate in many of MIT’s many entrepreneurial and innovation classes and competitions, such as the 100K competition, iTeams, and E-Lab.MIT students are independent and quick learners. With few exceptions, graduate students are expected to go beyond the knowledge taught in fast-paced classes and to develop a research project on their own. Their facility with mathematical concepts and quantitative analysis tools allow them to comfortably learn economics and finance.
