Why DeGroote?

DeGroote stood out to me because of its unique blend of academic excellence and real world experience. The opportunity to apply classroom learning directly through the co op program was a game changer. I was also drawn to McMaster’s reputation for hands on, experiential learning. I knew that to truly grow and lead in the business world, I needed more than just theory. I needed a program that emphasized practical, purposeful application, and DeGroote delivered.

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

Do the hard things and embrace the uncomfortable situations including some random team assignments. A lot of your most rewarding insights and connections will come from the unexpected situations.
