The co-operation and consideration of the Career and Professional Development team at DeGroote, especially during the pandemic, was a pleasant surprise for me as an international student.

Why DeGroote?

The co-op program at DeGroote gives the experiential learning platform to apply classroom business knowledge into real world situations.

Why an MBA?

I had worked for approximately 3 years before pursuing an MBA in data research and analysis. I wanted to expand my horizon into business strategic decisions. An MBA would not only help me understand the business scenarios from a bigger picture, but help me make strategic business decisions for the organization.
