Let’s break that down:
With nearly 20% of Hankamer School of Business grads heading into consulting, auditing, or financial services roles, KMPG (1) ranks as a top destination for graduates. Baylor has a long-standing relationship with KPMG, as both parties consistently work to partner students with recruiters to make lasting connections. Similarly, Ernst & Young (2) actively recruits from Baylor’s business and finance programs, regularly hosting information sessions and lobby tables so that students can connect with recruiters to learn about career opportunities.
Deloitte (3), another Big Four firm, is often a top choice for students seeking opportunities in consulting, risk advisory, and financial auditing. Similarly to Ernst & Young, Deloitte recruiters can often be found holding info sessions and tables to interact with students. Baylor’s relationship with Deloitte goes back years, with BU students frequently completing Deloitte’s case competitions and National Audit Innovation Campus Challenge to gain hands-on experience. PricewaterhouseCoopers (4), commonly known as PwC, follows suit in the accounting world, hiring top accounting and finance graduates, with a particular emphasis on professional selling (ProSales) majors. Baylor alumni thrive at PwC, frequently returning to campus to advise students about starting their own careers at the company.
