The Krannert full-time MBA program offers a business consulting specialization with three focus areas: business analysis consulting, financial consulting, and marketing consulting. Students pursuing this specialization should complete at least two foundational courses and two elective courses from one of these tracks. Consulting opportunities typically exist in several settings: major consulting firms like Accenture and IBM Global Services that serve diverse industries, niche consulting practices specializing in fields such as marketing or healthcare, and corporate internal consulting teams. Since the 1990s, consulting has remained a top career choice for MBA graduates. While economic fluctuations have impacted the consulting sector, specialized areas combining analytical approaches with information technology to produce business insights and address industry challenges continue to thrive.
