Why DeGroote?
DeGroote’s esteemed reputation and extensive alumni network, combined with its co-op opportunities, attracted me to the program. Coming from a science background with no prior business experience, I was eager to explore a new field. DeGroote offered the chance to develop business skills and apply them in diverse co-op work environments.
