Why DeGroote?

I had such a rewarding experience in my undergraduate with DeGroote that I was eager to have an opportunity to continue post-grad. The quality of learning offered by McMaster is evident through the variety of classes offered and the clear passion professors exhibit for their chosen fields. I enjoyed my undergraduate career and feel there are many opportunities DeGroote offers to enrich a student’s experience.

Why an MBA?

I am interested in pursuing an MBA to not only continue expanding my learning but also as an opportunity to learn more about the different opportunities in the business field. Having an MBA allows you to be more flexible moving forward in your career. As well, I am excited about the chance to build a network of other working professionals.

What surprised you about DeGroote?

DeGroote had many more opportunities when it came to leadership and community organizations. There are many ways to get involved which I feel really enriches a student’s experience.
