BCG Unlock

Pre-MBA Summer Program
BCGers don't just unlock potential in their clients. They unlock it in each other.
The 2022 registration period for BCG Unlock has passed. If you have any questions about our 2022 program, please reach out to us at mba.recruiting@bcg.com.

Please read below if you'd like to learn more about our annual Unlock program.
BCG Unlock is a summer learning program that introduces incoming MBAs to the people, insight, and experiences that will enrich their skills, knowledge, and relationships as they set out on the exciting-yet-challenging journey ahead.

​​​​​​​As a participant in BCG Unlock, you can expect personal, candid dialogue with BCG consultants and leaders, as well as your pre-MBA peers. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at our transformational work and digital capabilities, and dive deep into the opportunities, support systems, and tools we offer to help our people be their best. Every conversation will be an opportunity for you to ask the questions that are on your mind as you begin your life-changing year in these evolving times.

​​​​​​​BCG Unlock virtual programming is designed to easily fit into your schedule over the summer, even if you are still working full-time.
