A strong foundation
The Buckeye Undergraduate Consulting Club talent pool is split into five distinct ranks: Consulting Education Program (CEP), Business Analyst, Consultant, Project Leader, and Executive Board. CEP focuses on developing members into strategic thinkers through regular exposure to industry professionals, case competitions, and client project shadowing. Business Analysts will join projects with real-world clients and will also be paired with an upperclassman mentor and a BUCC alumni mentor who will help to guide them through their learning process.
Upon graduating CEP, Business Analysts become full-time Consultants and will be put on client engagements the following semester. Successful and committed members may choose to apply to be a Project Leader, directing their project team over the course of the semester and often acting as the point-of-contact for clients. Executive Board positions are filled internally through an application process. Our Executive Board works to maintain client relationships, source projects, develop new analysts, and grow our consulting organizations as a whole.
A diverse background
Since the founding of BUCC in 2011, we have made great strides to improve our academic and representative demographics. In order to provide unique insights, we value the need to recruit unique backgrounds. We have a strong foundation of upperclassmen supported by new waves of analysts every semester. Our gender ratio is reflective of the Fisher College of Business ratio and significantly improves upon the 77/23 male-female split in the College of Engineering.
When recruiting, we are looking to gain members of different fields on top of business, including engineering, science, and social studies to better diversity the skill pool we offer to our clients.
A competitive drive
Our club believes in recruiting the best, most committed analysts in order to deliver the best, most impactful insights to our clients and partners. This drive is reflected in our membership statistics. The Fisher College of Business average GPA is 3.33 and the College of Engineering average GPA is 3.28. BUCC has an average GPA of 3.75. We hold our members accountable to strong academic performance and encourage them to pursue external leadership roles, volunteer experiences, and highly competitive internships across different industries.
