My experience during the UNC Kenan-Flagler MBA program has been great overall. One of the highlights was the recently made free pre-MBA course, Analytical Skills Workshop (ASW), now called Business & Math Foundations. This pre-MBA summer program covers finance, financial accounting, probability and statistics, and business math. The foundation course made me more confident about the program and showed me how the curriculum is carefully designed to help us even before the MBA starts. It is a great way to refresh your skills and bolster your knowledge of these concepts in an intensive, self-paced two-month pre-MBA program.
The school culture is great. The students were happy to help when I reached out to them and greatly assisted me in preparing for the MBA and moving to the U.S. Interacting with the community, you can feel how collaborative and helpful the Tar Heel community is. For example, on the first day I reached the school, a guy from the school offered to give me a ride to collect stuff for my apartment without me even having to ask for help. Additionally, the alumni are very engaged with the program and are happy to connect with you and help you in any way possible. Although, I would love to see more alumni in more companies.
One of the things I am most excited about is the Global Immersion Elective. This elective allows students to travel to another country for an intensive experience, learning about the local business challenges, techniques, and culture. The best part is that the school provides certain fellowships to cover the expenses.
I suggest future applicants take advantage of the free pre-MBA course, Business & Math Foundations, and the Global Immersion Elective. Additionally, I would suggest they reach out to current students and alumni to understand the community and resources available at UNC Kenan-Flagler.
