As the most recent Johnson School Employment Report reveals, the number of our students entering the management consulting profession is growing, with good reason. They are sought by top consulting firms and by corporations with internal consulting functions.

Recruiters report that our students are better prepared than most of their peers. Generally, they enter their positions already knowing most of what the firms teach during orientation. They have a strong practical knowledge of the consulting process, from the details of practice to broad concepts. They know how to sell their services, undertake thorough and thoughtful analyses, deliver projects, maintain relationships with clients - and everything that surrounds these activities.

In addition, recruiters report that our strong emphasis on teamwork and our highly collaborative culture are a natural fit with the consulting industry. Johnson School students move into the professional world with ease, and are immediately able to work effectively with others.
