Emory University
Emory University offers undergraduates two useful entry points into consulting recruiting: the broader academic and career resources available through Emory College of Arts and Sciences, and the specialized recruiting support available to students in the Goizueta Business School BBA program. Based in Atlanta, Emory also gives students access to a major business market, while student consulting organizations offer practical ways to build client-facing experience before applying for internships and full-time roles.
Consulting placement
Emory’s latest published Goizueta BBA employment report covers the Class of 2025. It reports that 51 graduates, or 13% of the class, entered consulting. The report lists a mean base salary of $94,198 and a median base salary of $88,600 for this group.
The report also breaks consulting down by function: 50 graduates (13% of the class) entered strategy and management consulting, 11 (3%) entered research and specialized consulting, eight (2%) entered technology consulting, and four (1%) entered operations and procurement consulting.
The employment report includes a broad list of employers where BBA graduates found jobs, including Bain & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Deloitte, FTI Consulting, Accenture, and Capgemini Invent.
Emory College of Arts and Sciences publishes a separate First Destination Survey. Its Class of 2025 knowledge rate was 69%, and its outcomes cover employment and continuing education within six months of graduation.
Consulting clubs
Goizueta Consulting Group (GCG) is the main consulting organization associated with Goizueta’s BBA program. Its stated activities include case workshops, networking dinners, company presentations, résumé reviews, mock interviews, and events with consulting firms and alumni. Goizueta’s club page says there is no formal application to join, though continued attendance can lead to invitations to additional networking events. The group’s resources and contact details are available through its official club information.
Students can also explore organizations that provide hands-on consulting experience beyond traditional recruiting preparation:
Consult Your Community (CYC): offers pro bono consulting for small businesses and nonprofits. Its Emory chapter reports working with more than 112 nonprofits and small businesses since 2015 and describes partnerships with Bain, Deloitte, and PwC to support projects and mentorship.
Global Research and Consulting at Emory (GRC): focuses on pro bono work for nonprofits, governments, and social-impact organizations. The university’s student organization listing describes opportunities for technical training, client partnerships, mentorship, and alumni connections. Find it through The Hub’s student organization directory.
These groups can help students develop structured problem-solving, teamwork, research, and communication skills. Before committing, check each organization’s current recruitment cycle, project availability, and eligibility rules; student organization offerings can change.
Career services support
For BBA students, Goizueta’s Career Management Center (CMC) provides career coaching, interview preparation, job-search planning, and recruiting support. Its career guidance encourages students to build a résumé and Handshake profile early, gain experience through clubs and internships, and start identifying target employers and alumni contacts before the main recruiting push.
Goizueta’s recruiting resources include company presentations, on-campus interviews, career treks, employer networking, and the Goizueta Career Connection. Emory’s centralized Career and Professional Development office also supports undergraduate recruiting activities, and Handshake is used to share job opportunities across the undergraduate population.
Students in Emory College should use the university’s Career and Professional Development resources and the Pathways Center to explore career options, find relevant opportunities, and review first-destination outcomes. Since the BBA and Emory College have separate career-support structures and employment reporting, students should confirm which office serves their program rather than assuming every resource is available to all undergraduates.
Goizueta students also have access to Management Consulted, a comprehensive, high-touch coaching and training platform. It features live 1:1 coaching with former MBB consultants, structured prep programs, extensive math/chart drills, resume editing, and an active job board. Students should use their school email to gain access to the platform.
Recruiting timeline
BBA students are encouraged to pursue internship searches and on-campus interviews during the first semester of junior year, attend career treks during the fall or spring, and continue internship applications and interview practice in the second semester. The Goizueta Career Connection, a junior internship recruiting event, is described as taking place in early September.
For full-time roles, Goizueta advises seniors to build their networks and engage with companies through fall on-campus recruiting, presentations, and interviews. In the spring, students should continue applying through Handshake and employers’ own websites, since some companies recruit later.
For consulting specifically, check Handshake, GCG announcements, and individual firm career pages for event dates, application openings, and deadlines. Do not rely on a single campus-wide timeline: recruiting schedules differ by firm, role, and internship versus full-time hiring.
