Oregon Consulting Group

Our student consulting group prepares its members for lifelong careers through direct experience.

The Oregon Consulting Group (OCG) is a professionally managed, student-run consulting organization housed in the Lundquist College of Business at the University of Oregon.

Founded in 2014, the Oregon Consulting Group provides student consultants with the opportunity to gain a mastery of their classroom studies through intensive experiential learning. OCG has more than 30 members supporting 15 or more projects every year.

OCG serves companies and nonprofits on a wide range of consulting projects, operating under the guidance of a faculty advisor and drawing on the expertise of University of Oregon faculty and research resources to provide clients with a professional deliverable from student consulting teams. OCG works with clients to deliver high-quality research, analysis, insights, strategies, and business plans at a fraction of the cost of a traditional consultancy.

OCG prides itself on its value proposition of delivering exceptional value for clients and transformative experiences for students.
