REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED ****@gatech.edu [?]
The environment of our program is extremely collaborative due to our relatively small size (about 80 in each class). Each student finds their own niche to get involved in and develop the program. Whether its founding a new club or building out an existing initiative, the flexibility of our program allows students the opportunity to engage directly with alums and local business leaders.
In addition to our collaborative nature, our career services team is incredible. My career advisor, Lauren, knew my goals and interests and would regularly shoot me an email about a company or job opportunity she thought I might be interested in pursuing. Not only do top companies come to campus (Delta, UPS, Amazon, Deloitte, Bank of America), but our alumni network for Scheller and the greater network of Georgia Tech opens doors to any company. I knew I wanted to pursue a full-time career in strategy consulting. Through a GT alum, I was given the opportunity to interview with Accenture and ended up accepting a full-time offer with their Strategy group for next Fall. If you’re willing to put in the work with your career advisor – resume reviews, interview prep, networking – then I truly think any student could land their dream job post-graduation through Scheller.
Lastly, I think our practicum curriculum is a unique opportunity that really sets Scheller apart. I didn’t realize how unique these class styles were until I interned with students from another Top 30 MBA program in Atlanta and told them about my experience in my strategy practicum. They had never heard of anything like it! Practicums are semester-long consulting engagements in a certain focus area (marketing, IT, strategy, real estate, etc), where you and your team work with a company to solve an actual business problem they are facing. So far, I have had the opportunity to work with E&J Gallo Winery and Coca-Cola through my practicum classes. Both opportunities were tangible work experiences that I was able to speak to in my consulting interviews. For students looking to make a career switch, practicums are a great way to gain hands-on experience in a new area.
Overall, Scheller is a collaborative program where you are truly known by the faculty, administration, career services, and your classmates. I would highly recommend Scheller to anyone looking to develop an entrepreneurial, technology-forward business mindset.
