Consulting Intern Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a consulting intern in Minnesota?
Most consulting intern roles in Minnesota require enrollment in a business, economics, engineering, or related undergraduate or graduate program at a Minnesota university such as the University of Minnesota, Carlson School of Management, or Saint Thomas. No state-issued license is required for consulting interns. Firms typically recruit through campus programs, case interview preparation, and demonstrated problem-solving ability through coursework, student organizations, or prior internship experience.
Which companies hire consulting interns in Minnesota?
Companies currently hiring consulting interns in Minnesota include RSM and Mercer, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Minnesota's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters in healthcare, retail, and financial services means consulting interns often work on substantive client-facing projects rather than purely administrative tasks.
Which Minnesota cities have the most consulting intern jobs?
Minneapolis have the most consulting intern openings in Minnesota. Minneapolis drives the largest share of postings given its dense cluster of corporate headquarters, major consulting firm offices, and financial services institutions, while Saint Paul benefits from proximity to state government and healthcare anchors, and suburban hubs like Minnetonka attract openings tied to large employers headquartered outside the urban core.
Are there remote consulting intern jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, and they are more common than in many fields, since consulting intern work is largely analytical and presentation-based rather than hands-on. About 100% of consulting intern openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting broader flexibility in the professional services sector. Strategy, research, and data analysis components of the role tend to be the most remote-friendly, while client-facing and team collaboration work is typically on-site.
How can I get hired as a consulting intern in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through structured internship programs at large Minnesota employers such as Deloitte, Accenture, or the internal strategy teams at companies like Target or UnitedHealth Group, which recruit directly from Minnesota campuses. Students who join consulting clubs, compete in case competitions at Carlson or Macalester, or build analytical portfolios through class projects gain a concrete edge. Adjacent roles in data analysis, operations coordination, or financial research at Minnesota firms also serve as a practical starting point.
Where can I find and apply to consulting intern jobs in Minnesota?
