Why DeGroote?
DeGroote School of business being one of the few MBA schools which provides students with the opportunity to do 3 co-ops during their MBA degree. To me that was very fascinating and intriguing that within 28 months, I can try and explore 3 different industries and at the same time pursue my MBA. You will have the room to learn and imply your learnings in the industry of your choice, how cool is that!!
Why an MBA?
After working in an IT industry and a non-for profit industry, I figured it’s the right time for me to understand the intricacies of business and learn how a business runs.
