<p>What is the best Bachelor's degree for someone aspiring to be a Business Process or Management consultant?</p>
<p>Is an undergrad degree in Management too broad? Will firms consider it as such and look at Finance and Accounting majors more closely?</p>
<p>The best degree for consulting is the one that comes from the most elite school.</p>
<p>Would McCombs be considered “elite”?</p>
<p>If you’re interested in what companies hire from where, coming on here is not the way to go about it. Google “[companies name] careers on campus” and the page you want will probionably be first result. </p>
<p>McCombs is a very good business school and dominates an entire region of the country as far as recruiting goes. If I do the above exercise with McKinsey and Mccombs I get the following result: </p>
<p>[University</a> Of Texas - Austin | US Schools Recruitment](<a href=“http://hosting.mckinsey.com/careers/us_schools/campus_calendar/university_of_texas_austin.aspx]University”>http://hosting.mckinsey.com/careers/us_schools/campus_calendar/university_of_texas_austin.aspx)</p>
<p>When you look at that you can see that yes, McKinsey does recruit on campus at Mccombs and probably hires multiple people every year. </p>
<p>Obviously you will need to be one of the top students to get an offer from a company like Mckinsey. But using this method you can see that they do have quite a few recruiting events on campus for both summer analyst and full-time positions, which means they hire students every year.</p>
<p>Either be an insanely talented undergrad or an over-achieving professional. Management consulting is all about critical thinking and problem solving. </p>
<p>That said, the big 3 management consulting firms only recruit at the most prestigious schools, even schools that don’t offer undergrad business. You may ask why, and this is because these firms are not looking for people that have technical management skills but rather people who have the ability to think through a problem and offer a solution.</p>
<p>If you really want to be a management consultant, then ignore most of the advice above. There are plenty of management consulting firms outside of McKinsey/Bain/BCG, and you can make a good career without joining one of those elite firms. To answer your initial question, a lot of majors would be okay for a management consulting. I would stay away from a management majors, and instead look at something like economics, finance, or operations management.</p>
<p>Economics from the best school you can get into.</p>
