Scroll down for more information about our selection process, important dates, and links to the general membership and committee member applications.

Our Application Process:

BCEC is an equal opportunity, anti-rush/hazing, inclusive, professional community. Meaning, we admit on the basis of proven work ethic and passion for the entertainment industry, no matter your grade-level, age, socioeconomic level, or race.

As one of four business organizations affiliated with Haas, our application form is required to be through the Haas Sponsored Common Application.

IMPORTANT: BCEC does NOT require applicants to fill out the HBSA/HSO general question on the Haas Organization Application (ex: “Why do you resonate with the Haas Defining Leadership Principle you selected above?”). You are still required to fill out all other HBSA general questions. Please note, that if another HSO that you are applying to requires you to fill out this question above, it must still be completed for that HSO.

Before Applying:

  • Do some research on our semester projects and the possible committees you’d be interested in joining. Learn more about our Spring 2024 projects here:

  • Know the names of the committee directors you will be applying under. They will be the ones reviewing your application! Reach out for coffee chats, talk to them at our info-session — the more you network with our team, the better chance you’ll have at sticking out during the deliberation process.

  • Try to sign up for a coffee chat with your intended committee director before the slots fill up, and attend at least one info session.

  • Still have questions? Feel free to check out our Application FAQ, email us at calbcec@gmail.com, or contact us on Instagram @calbcec.

Important Application Dates (expand for more information)

  • Candidates may sign up for a coffee chat with BCEC leadership to learn more about the club.

    Coffee Chatting leadership indicates dedication of interest — and also allows us to remember you personally, improving your chances of acceptance.

  • All previous committee members and committee interns who do not receive an automatic return offer may fill out the RETURNER APPLICATION.

    This is a shortened version of BCEC’s recruitment application with specific questions to evaluate a previous CM and CI performance. Based on the quality of these previous CM’s and CI’s answers, committee directors can choose whether to make the reapplying CM go through both rounds of interviews (Round 1 & Round 2) or to expedite them to Round 2.

  • New Committee Member and General Membership applications open.

  • Business Careers in Entertainment Club - BCEC Berkeley Chapter provides students with the opportunities and resources necessary to connect with professionals in the entertainment industry. In the past we have worked with the likes of Amazon Studios, Canva, Paramount, Adobe, the LA Chargers, and The New York Times.

    At our info session, you will learn more about our 11 committees and how you can apply! The 11 committees are as follows:

  • Second BCEC Infosession (highly recommended if you did not attend the first one!)

  • Coffee Chat sign-ups close.

  • Based on written application and attendance to info-sessions and coffee-chats, select candidates are given a first-round interview.

  • [CM Candidates only] After making it past our first round of interviews, you’ll be invited to an exclusive social mixer with our board and exec and get to know BCEC on a personal level!

  • [For Committee Member Candidates] Candidates who make it past Round 1 Interviews are invited to an exclusive social mixer and Round 2 Interviews.

  • Welcome to BCEC! Celebrate through a fun event with games, committee competitions, and prizes.
