Why DeGroote?

Incredibly personalized program in a non-competitive environment. All the students and faculty support each other to the point of high levels of success.

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

Think about what you want out of it, if it’s purely for the courses or the 3 letters – look elsewhere as DeGroote excels at opportunities outside the classroom to elevate all of our experiences (co-ops, competitions, conferences, additional certifications, and so much more)
