Sophomore Consulting Exploratory Program: A Day in the BHive

Join us for a virtual workshop on May 8, 2026

The Brattle Group’s Sophomore Consulting Exploratory Program is a professional development experience for undergraduates completing their second year. This unique experience is designed to help you learn more about how you could apply the economic, finance, policy, computer science, and/or engineering concepts from the classroom to a career path in economic consulting.

At Brattle, we often refer to our close-knit community of smart, collaborative employees as the BHive. A Day in the BHive will demystify the industry of economic consulting and clarify how it is different from other types of consulting. Participants will learn about a day in the life of an economic consultant, as well as learn academic tips and interview techniques from consulting staff and the Talent Acquisition team. If selected, this program can be highlighted on your resume to let future employers know you are driven and eager to apply your skills in a professional setting.

How do I know if this program is right for me?

All you need is an interest in analytical areas like math, statistics, business, engineering, public policy, finance, economics or law. Economic consulting intersects with many industries, so you may be majoring in one of these areas, or still deciding. This workshop features a panel session with consulting teammates, including Analysts, who can help recommend courses or areas of study to shape your academic path. We are not just looking for students who do well on coursework, but for those who consistently want to learn more, and who approach problems with creativity.

Program Agenda

During A Day in the (B)Hive, you’ll get to hear directly from executive leadership at Brattle, Analysts who’ve recently joined the firm, senior members of our consulting teams, and the Talent Acquisition team.
