What Is Advanced Professional Degree?

Advanced Professional Degree (APD) represents candidates who are postdocs or working toward the following degrees: PhD, MD (including medical interns, residents and fellows), JD, PharmD, Nursing, and non-MBA Masters. Non-MBA Master candidates must have at least four years in between the completion of their undergraduate degree and graduate degree to be qualified as having an APD. If a non-MBA Masters candidate does not have four years in between completion of their undergraduate and graduate degrees, they would qualify for our business analyst positions.

What Roles Are Available?

APDs typically join us as associates, working either as generalists or expert consultants if they have a specific function or industry that they would like to focus on such as digital, analytics, and operations. We also have industry and technology roles such as data scientists, software engineers, product managers, data engineers, designers, agile coaches, or digital marketers. APD candidates may also consider applying for a summer associate internship position or the MD fellowship program depending on their degree. Eligibility for the internship and MD fellowship program depends on your anticipated graduation or program completion date.
