MBA Consulting Projects
Welcome
 I am very pleased to welcome you to the MBA Consulting Program at The Paul Merage School of Business at the University of California, Irvine.
The MBA Consulting Program is designed to offer MBA students a real practical experience in a strategic project for a corporate client.
Corporate sponsor benefits are substantial including having a highly motivated team from the outside provide unbiased, fresh and creative approaches to particular issues, obtaining information through thorough research, taking a close look at bright young talent, and strengthening the partnership with the University.
I look forward to working with you and our MBA student teams on challenging and rewarding projects. Thank you for partnering with us at The Paul Merage School of Business.
Welcome!

About the Program
The MBA Consulting Program offers top university-level MBA student teams to assist in the completion of strategic business projects. Students contribute approximately 500 hours of work over a 10-week period.
What you receive is:
- Fresh ideas and perspectives to incorporate into your strategy and management plan
- MBA level project work - students each bring significant professional experience to the table
- Solid, documented results; actionable analysis and recommendations are delivered.
Take advantage of this opportunity to experience MBA talent first hand and leverage this opportunity to evaluate an MBA intern or career hire for your organization.
Project Requirements
For a project to be considered, it must be challenging in scope and strategic in nature. For the full benefits to be realized, potential projects should:
- Involve MBA-level work with specific goals and deliverables
- Be supported by top management with senior executive as champion
- Allow appropriate access to information and resources
Companies that are of significant size in their market and are invited to participate. The focus should be on performance improvement and involve strategic management issues and/or changes in the organization. Departments that have benefited from the projects have included: Corporate Marketing, Operations, Strategic Planning, Human Resources, and Business Development.
“Succesfully leveraging diverse experience and newly acquired skills, this cross-functional and cross-cultural team met all expectations with their insightful 'on point' final presentation and report. Please extend my congratulations and thanks to the team."
