What is Management Consulting?

Management consultants are elite problem-solvers, hired by companies to address complex business challenges and opportunities. By using a combination of structured thinking, analytical skills, and clear communication, consultants are able to assist primary decision-makers across a variety of industries in both the public and private sector.

Why Should I Join The MCA?

Professional Development

The MCA will prepare you for the real-world business world, with meetings run by students advanced in the consulting recruiting process, guest speakers who successfully navigated the consulting recruiting process, and trainings on interview best-practices, networking etiquette, and resume reviews.

Student Mentoring & Networking

The MCA is run by BYU students who have gone through the interview process and landed offers at the top consulting firms. The purpose of the MCA is to help you prepare to do the same! As a member of the MCA, you'll be surrounded by other high-performing and high-potential students in the Marriott school from all stages of the consulting preparation process who will become case practice partners and lifelong friends.

Case Interview Preparation

Once an official member of the MCA, you will have access to a plethora of casing resources, including full case books and casing instructions, an essential portion of the recruiting process at any of the top consulting firms.

Firm Networking & Connection

The MCA coordinates info sessions and consulting nights at which MCA members are able to meet and talk with consultants from both Big 3 and Boutique consulting firms!

2. Pay Your Dues

When you click join the MCA on BYU's club website, you will be directed to a page that requests you to pay dues. Dues are due every calendar year, and last for the entire 12 months, so it doesn't matter when you join the MCA, your dues will be valid for the year following. Unlike some clubs on campus which are funded through a department or other branch of the university, the MCA is entirely self-sustaining. It is made for students and run by students, and assisted by former students who have gone on to work in all of the most prestigious consulting firms around the world. Your dues investment funds all of the activities of the club and enable the MCA to continue moving forward.

3. Show Up!

Once you are an official MCA member, you will receive access to the membership area on this website and you will be added to the MCA email list, which will inform you of the location and details of all MCA events. If you show up regularly, contribute heavily, and receive as much as possible, joining the MCA will easily be the best decision you make during your time at BYU. The students who show up get results. It's really that simple. MCA Meetings are every Tuesday at 7pm in the Tanner building throughout the Fall and Winter semesters. We'll see you there soon!
