Program Overview:

At Analysis Group, we provide our clients with thoughtful, pragmatic solutions to their most challenging business and litigation problems. Analysis Group is one of the largest private economics consulting firms, with more than 1,500 professionals across 15 offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. Since 1981, we have provided expertise in economics, finance, health care analytics, and strategy to top law firms, Fortune Global 500 companies, and government agencies worldwide.

Our internal experts, together with our network of affiliated experts from academia, industry, and government, offer our clients exceptional breadth and depth of expertise. 

The Ignite@AG Summer Externship offers a unique, in-person opportunity for incoming MBA students currently accepted into US-based, full-time programs with an expected graduation date of 2028 and currently enrolled Ph.D. students with an expected graduation date of 2027 or 2028 to explore the impactful world of economic consulting.

This program provides hands-on exposure to the Associate role (the entry position for new MBAs and Ph.D. recipients) within a collaborative, analytics-focused environment. The externship is open to all applicants, with a focus on providing opportunities to individuals who have not had prior exposure to economic consulting. Participants will gain insight into how Analysis Group consultants address critical business and litigation challenges through data analysis, strategic thinking, and research, while also developing strategies for navigating the workplace and effectively managing teams by accounting for differences in work styles, personalities, and cultures.

Externs will strengthen their analytical skills, participate in a mock case, shadow an Associate, receive interview coaching, and build connections with AG consultants and leaders. They will also have the opportunity to network with our affinity groups—which are open to all employees—such as Black@AG and Latins@AG, providing an additional avenue to learn about AG’s inclusive culture and build lasting professional relationships.
