Northwestern is known for recruiting for consulting. However, there is no undergrad business program at Northwestern. There is a certificate, but that's all.

Northwestern is rated very highly for engineering:

And not just ratings, since these are for phD, but their practice of whole-brain undergrad engineering plus being a consulting target school makes Engineering grads targets for high-level tech consulting, much like the ivies with engineering, CMU, MIT. Soft skills, leadership, and writing are important, not just basic engineering skills which one can attain at any average state school. The top jobs and careers in Engineering launch from schools who have NU's approach

There are at least two different Kellogg certificate programs at Northwestern University for undergraduates who want to pursue IB (investment banking):

https://Kellogg.northwestern.edu/programs/certificate/academics/managerial-analytics-certificate.aspx

https://kellogg.northwestern.edu/programs/certificate/academics/financial-economics-certificate.aspx

The above two certificate programs accept only 50 students per year. Serious brainiac territory.

For banking the business institutions courses are more relevant:

Which is great as students get the signaling benefits of a business degree without the large amount of corresponding busywork. A win-win.

It's mostly Econ or STEM majors that get the consulting jobs just like any other schools that don't have business programs, not communication, psychology, theater, etc. majors. Nothing special, great, or win-win about Northwestern.
