I came to the Full-time MBA at Smith School of Business because ...

of the team-based learning environment. From my few years of work experience, I know it is vital to work effectively in a team environment, and at Smith, that aspect of the program is world-renowned. Another reason for choosing the Smith MBA is the spectacular reputation of the program and the vast personal network it provides. The connections I will make with peers and alumni over the year are extremely valuable. When choosing where to study for my MBA, it was not easy to compare and contrast the long list of programs offered at different schools. The staff in the Smith MBA office and alumni of the program were all very approachable and friendly, answering all my questions efficiently and without pressure. Everyone here understands how big this decision is for us all, and the support I received during my application process was simply outstanding. This year, I hope to learn new skills to position myself as an effective leader in the business world. As I don’t know what specific role I would like to end up in, I am excited to work with the Career Advancement Centre to explore my options. There are many more reasons why the Smith MBA is an excellent opportunity to grow your skills. If you have any questions, please be sure to inquire!
