Why DeGroote?

I chose DeGroote for the reputation of it’s co-op program, along with the academic reputation.

Why an MBA?

The biggest surprise about DeGroote has been the collaborative atmosphere. Everyone is willing to extend a helping hand, whether it be preparing for an interview or studying for that big exam. It has been extremely refreshing to be part of such an environment.
