Team
Formation
NLCG fosters professional and personal growth by aligning project staffing with students' development goals.
Emphasizing diversity of thought, teams are strategically composed to bring unique perspectives and drive success.
12-Week Strategic Partnership
Over 12 weeks, students work in teams to tackle projects tailored to real client needs, gaining hands-on experience.
This mirrors the consulting firm experience within a shorter, semester-based timeframe.

Our Story
Forging the Future of Consulting Excellence
The Nittany Lion Consulting Group was created in 2020 following the merger of three project-based consulting organizations on the Penn State campus: Nittany Consulting Group, Management 496, and Students Consulting for Nonprofit Organizations.
​
By taking the best parts of each organization and uniting students with common interests, we at NLCG are excited to start this new journey which we believe will yield remarkable results for our students, engage more stakeholders – like faculty, alumni and recruiters – and contribute to making Penn State one of the top schools for consulting-related education in the Mid-Atlantic.
