Why DeGroote?

When I chose to embark on my MBA journey, DeGroote immediately caught my attention for several reasons. Firstly, its offering of three co-op opportunities throughout the program stood out to me. Having previously completed an undergraduate program with placement opportunities, I highly valued the chance to engage in co-op experiences as they would enable me to explore various career paths, companies, and industries. The prospect of three distinct co-op experiences excited me as it meant expanding my professional network in different settings. Additionally, the supportive environment provided by the CPD team, fellow students, and alumni not only eased the application process, but also reassured me that I would have a strong support system throughout my MBA journey at DeGroote.
