Why DeGroote?

I chose DeGroote because of its unique focus on experiential learning and the intersection of business and healthcare, which aligns closely with my passion for making a meaningful impact in the health system. The collaborative environment and co-op structure made it the perfect place to grow both professionally and personally.

What piece of advice would you give to anyone considering doing their MBA at DeGroote?

Take full advantage of the experiential opportunities whether it’s co-op, case competitions, or club leadership. DeGroote gives you the platform, but the value comes from how much you put yourself out there and get involved beyond the classroom.
