New York University
New York University offers undergraduates several routes into consulting, from Stern’s business-focused recruiting programs to Tandon’s consulting club for students with technical backgrounds. Its New York City location also puts students close to consulting firms, employer events, and alumni networks. For undergraduates, Stern provides the clearest consulting-specific pathway, with a Management Consulting track, a dedicated student club, and structured case interview preparation.
Consulting placement
NYU Stern’s Class of 2025 Career Outcomes Report says 98.0% of students seeking full-time employment had secured a role within three months of graduation.
Stern’s earlier Class of 2024 report gives a longer-term benchmark: across the 2021–2024 period, management consulting accounted for 10.5% of employment by industry, while consulting accounted for 14.9% by job function.
Stern’s employer list for 2025 includes consulting firms such as AlixPartners, Bain & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Deloitte, EY-Parthenon, McKinsey & Company, PwC, Strategy&, and ZS Associates.
Consulting clubs
Management Consulting Group (MCG): NYU Stern’s undergraduate MCG helps students develop consulting skills through professional panels, workshops, networking, competitions, and mentorship. Its highlighted programming includes the PwC Industry Analysis Case Competition, where student teams analyze a Fortune 500 company and present a strategic recommendation, and the Core Consulting Committee, a 10-week training program designed for first-year and sophomore students exploring consulting. Confirm the current application process and event calendar through the club’s site.
Tandon Consulting Club (TCC): TCC is a student-led organization open to NYU students, regardless of background or prior consulting knowledge. It offers case interview preparation, career workshops, alumni panels, networking sessions, and case competitions. The club also describes a visit to Capgemini’s New York office featuring discussions with senior leaders and early-career employees. Its year-long program starts in fall, with spring entry also welcome. This is a particularly relevant option for students who want to connect technical skills with consulting problem-solving.
Career services support for consulting
Stern’s Professional Development & Career Education (PDCE) team runs consulting-focused programming alongside the university-wide Wasserman Center for Career Development. Stern’s annual Consulting Casing Bootcamp breaks down the skills needed for case interviews, with practice and office hours led by Stern MBA students who have secured consulting roles. The Recruitment Ready program for sophomores also covers networking, résumé review, recruiting timelines, and internship search strategy.
Wasserman provides career coaching, résumé and cover-letter support, mock interviews, career fairs, alumni networking, and access to job postings and on-campus recruitment through Handshake. Its Business, Finance, and Consulting career community also shares interview-preparation resources, including a beginner case interview video featuring former BCG and Bain consultants.
Stern also offers an academic Management Consulting track that develops data analysis, problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills. It can complement a business concentration and provides coursework relevant to management, strategy, economic, healthcare, and technology consulting.
Consider signing up for 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. Many students who used it found better job placements in consulting and found placements faster after graduation.
Recruiting timeline
Stern’s Recruitment Ready programming helps sophomores build an internship-search strategy and understand recruiting timelines. Students should use that preparation to begin researching firms, networking, and preparing application materials before their target recruiting cycle.
NYU’s career platform lists employer events and consulting-related preparation sessions throughout the academic year. Use Handshake, Stern PDCE announcements, club calendars, and each firm’s official careers page to track application deadlines, information sessions, assessments, and interviews. Recruiting schedules vary by firm, role, office, and year; no single deadline applies to all consulting employers.
