Berkeley Business Society is a student-run strategy consulting organization founded in 2005. Each semester, members join one of five consulting divisions (Finance, Media, Marketing, Tech, or Social Impact) and spend the term working on real client projects for companies like PepsiCo, AMD, and Grubhub, delivering research, competitive benchmarking, and strategic recommendations. Members get hands-on consulting experience, mentorship from alumni and industry professionals, and a close-knit community of ambitious undergraduates across all majors.
