Obtaining my MBA was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in terms of investing in my own personal development; deciding on Goizueta was an even better decision.
The quality of the faculty was just one of the many highlights of my experience. Professors at Goizueta challenged me to think differently and to create and defend opinions in subject areas of which I was unfamiliar – ultimately making me more confident in my abilities to do so.
The broad-based curriculum yielded a challenging learning experience, while providing me the basis to have a more total understanding of the business in which I operate – especially areas outside of my expertise. This has enabled me to make better business decisions and be more sensitive to the implications – through the entire value chain.
I was also able to complete course projects on real-world business issues currently facing my organization, giving immediate value back to my employer.
As for time management challenges, I have never been busier – or more productive. It’s definitely a balancing act between work, family and school; it forces you to prioritize. It’s tough, but it is doable, especially if you have the support of those around you, including your employer.
