Why did you choose to pursue an MBA?

Like most people, I was really looking for a career change or at least a path to accelerate my career. I had a great engineering position in the building design and energy industry, but it’s not an industry that is easy for an engineer to find his/her way up the corporate ladder. I’ve always considered myself a very future-oriented person, and I knew the education and opportunities delivered by an MBA program would drive my career growth in the direction I wanted.

Why did you choose Georgia Tech over other MBA programs and what’s unique to Georgia Tech’s MBA?

I was probably slightly biased toward Georgia Tech since I attended as an undergrad, but what it really boiled down to was the Institute’s reputation and its strengths in the core areas I was focused on. I have always had a passion for technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and I really consider Georgia Tech a top university in all of those areas.

Another added benefit to attending Georgia Tech was the structure and convenience of the Evening MBA program. I really like the College’s focus on delivering the same quality of education and experience as they would deliver in a full-time MBA program. On top of that, the class schedule and location of the college made it very easy to figure out how I would add school on top of work. In the end, it was a no-brainer for me to focus on Georgia Tech when I submitted applications and choose Georgia Tech when I was accepted.

How would you describe the Georgia Tech MBA academic experience?

It would have been extremely difficult to build such a wealth of solid knowledge and skills without the program. I felt that I gained at least one core piece of knowledge from every class that I will consistently use in my career. The professors were top notch and the coursework has always been challenging in just the right amounts to continually build on what each student has learned.

I will always remember a quote from one of my favorite professors (Robert Burgess) who said in class at the start of the semester: “You will be amazed by the conversations you have with people at the end of this program.” I am consistently amazed at the knowledge I have developed over the course of the program, and I know pursuing the Georgia Tech MBA was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
