Why DeGroote?
The McMaster DeGroote MBA journey is an action-packed experience of a lifetime. The cavalry of coursework, world-renowned faculty, case-based learning; industry exposure and the diverse cohort experience is going to propel me to success in a Fortune 500 marketplace. The opportunity of being a part of a globally diverse cohort in a renowned business school paired with continued mentorship will give me hands-on industry experience on a multinational dimension that would enable me to apply my learnings to create a positive impact. A key belief for me is to apply what I learn, get my hands dirty, make mistakes and through this process hone my skillsets. The DeGroote MBA provides the perfect opportunity in this segment through Co-op work terms as a part of the program. It is also very re-assuring to see the level of compassion and support that would be available, from ensuring that international students are feeling at home in Burlington to guiding us every step of the way in terms of careers and professional development.
