Emory Goizueta MBA: High-impact, AI-forward, and deeply collaborative

Experience during the program

I am a Full-Time MBA (Class of 2026) at Emory Goizueta, and my experience has been highly practical, collaborative, and aligned with my goals in AI, strategy, and product leadership. The program gave me strong business fundamentals while also creating real opportunities to apply them in live settings.

What stood out most was the access to meaningful leadership and hands-on work. Through roles like Marketing & Communications Fellow, I worked on GenAI workflows and dashboards for Emory’s marketing leadership. As a Board Fellow with Intown Cares, I helped shape AI implementation and automation strategy for a nonprofit. I also grew through coaching and cross-functional teamwork as an IMPACT Coaching Fellow and through active involvement in consulting, operations, and tech communities.

Goizueta has been especially strong for students who want to build, not just learn. I was able to combine coursework, hackathons, and entrepreneurial work (AI-focused ventures and MVPs) in a way that accelerated my growth and career direction. The faculty and alumni network are accessible, and Atlanta offers strong opportunities for real-world projects and networking.

My advice to future applicants: come in with a clear goal, but stay flexible. Raise your hand early for fellowships, leadership roles, and experiential projects. The more proactive you are, the more value you will get from the program.
