Gain Real Experience.

    Work with real companies.

    The MSUMA Business Committee gives select members the opportunity to gain hands-on consulting experience by working directly with student startups, small businesses, sponsored partners, and larger organizations. Students collaborate with real clients, solve real challenges, and contribute ideas companies actually implement.

    Learn applicable skills.

    Our program bridges the gap between the classroom and real-world marketing. Business Committee consultants sharpen essential skills. Each project is designed to help students build a strong foundation in both analytical and creative marketing disciplines — preparing them for internships and beyond.

The background of the stage has a banner with the logo and name of the institution, Broad College of Business.

    Make a impactful difference.

    This internship-like experience empowers members to bring innovative ideas to life, immerse themselves in business challenges, and grow their industry knowledge while supporting organizations that benefit from their insights. Every partnership receives a team of 3–4 driven MSU consultants committed to delivering real value and lasting results.
