The Class
SIBC runs like a student-led consulting firm, built into your class schedule.
What happens in class?
Class time is team time. Each team works together on its client’s project prompt, then keeps the project moving in meetings outside of class.

Types of projects
Most members join a client project team and work directly with a business or nonprofit on a real challenge. Many of these projects begin with a client visit, giving teams the chance to travel, sometimes internationally, and see the business firsthand. Other members join a forum team that researches and presents alongside students from councils at Notre Dame and the University of San Diego. Experienced members can lead as part of the Executive Board.
Projects vary by semester based on our clients and partners.
