Previously being in more technical and on-the-floor roles, the MBA supported me to be able to pivot in a direction of my choosing without losing my previous experience, utilizing it as a leverage point to continue in a similar field at a higher level.

Work Experience during the DeGroote MBA (Co-op or Summer Internship)

  • Research Development & Innovations Analyst, Hamilton Health Sciences

Why DeGroote?

Incredibly personalized program in a non-competitive environment. All the students and faculty support each other to the point of high levels of success.

What piece of advice would you give to anyone considering doing their MBA at DeGroote?

Think about what you want out of it, if it’s purely for the courses or the 3 letters – look elsewhere as DeGroote excels at opportunities outside the classroom to elevate all of our experiences (co-ops, competitions, conferences, additional certifications, and so much more)
