Why DeGroote?
My first interaction with DeGroote was with the Admissions team during an MBA tour, which left a lasting impression on me! I enjoyed my discussions with the team and could not help but notice how welcoming and passionate they were about the school and its mission. During my follow-up engagements, I was also impressed by the accessibility and responsiveness of the team, ambassadors and current students. Whether it was through emails or virtual meetings, they consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication. Their enthusiasm for the school and genuine willingness to support made me feel valued and affirmed my belief that DeGroote fosters a strong sense of community. One other thing that caught my attention was the MBA Co-op program. The opportunity to gain work experience while taking my MBA made me confident and I still am – that DeGroote has everything I am looking for in an MBA program!
