With two previous degrees from McMaster, the decision to choose McMaster was easy. McMaster has a rich culture made up of diverse professionals that come together to provide a variety of perspectives. I knew this program would provide me unique experiences, insights and skills that would allow me to grow my career in the healthcare sector.

Why DeGroote?
Having two previous degrees from McMaster I knew continuing my educational journey as a Marauder was the right fit. I really wanted to gain a comprehensive understanding of the business side of healthcare. I was looking to apply my knowledge and expertise as a nurse in the context of improving processes and management within the healthcare setting. I sought the MBA with co-op to support this pivot in my career as I continued to build my business acumen and gain firsthand experience.
