UC Davis MBA Consulting Center Logo

The UC Davis MBA Consulting Center gives teams of our students practical, hands-on experience completing strategic projects in partnership with our client organization’s management.

Our MBA student consultants work with field study advisors to address critical management problems for business, government and not-for-profit clients.

These projects benefit organizations and give students an opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to real challenges while earning credit toward their degree. The Consulting Center is directed by Professor Richard Dorf.
