Bruin Strategy Network (BSN) is a student-run consulting group at UCLA where college students work with real companies — from small startups to big Fortune-500 brands — to solve business and healthcare challenges. Members learn how to think like problem-solvers, work in teams, and create solutions that make an impact. BSN is made up of UCLA Bruins from many different majors and backgrounds, and everyone gets training, mentorship, and a supportive community. It’s also backed by a strong network of alumni who help members succeed in their careers.
