We are a student-run consulting organization at Santa Clara University, combining academic excellence with real-world business impact.

Who We Are

Santa Clara Consulting is a premier student-run consulting club at Santa Clara University, dedicated to bridging the gap between academic learning and professional practice.

Founded by students interested in business strategy, we've grown into a dynamic team of talented consultants who work with real clients on meaningful business challenges. Our members bring diverse backgrounds in business, engineering, and the arts, united by a passion for strategic problem-solving.

We strive to operate with the professionalism and rigor of top-tier consulting firms while maintaining the agility and innovation that comes from being student-led. Every project is an opportunity for our members to develop critical consulting skills while delivering genuine value to our clients.

Our members have gone on to careers in consulting, finance, technology, and entrepreneurship, with many returning to mentor the next generation of SCC consultants.

More Than Consulting

We take the work seriously, but we also prioritize building a tight-knit community.

SCC is built on real client work, but the community is what makes the experience stick. New cohort members connect closely with older SCC consultants through mentorship pairings and cohort traditions, and we keep that momentum going all year with everything from casual dinners, bonfires, and scavenger hunts to bigger moments like formals and our annual retreat.
