New MBA student experience
New MBA student experience
After going to a small school for my undergrad I knew that I wanted to further my education at a small school with a tight knit, family type of atmosphere. Canisius seemed like a perfect candidate. I got my BS in Finance and wanted to obtain my MBA. Canisius offered 7 different evening MBA programs, from Global Supply Chain Management to their new International Business program, and also a one-year full-time MBA program. Along with its AACSB accreditation, I had heard many good things about the faculty and staff and the price seemed very reasonable.
After browsing through the website I noticed the opportunity to get a scholarship or a graduate assistantship. Both of these would provide financial support and the latter of the two the chance to work on campus and pay for part of my tuition. I applied online, went to the office, had an interview, and was offered the grad assist position.
Getting my student ID card and parking pass was very simple. I was lucky enough to have someone give me a small tour of the campus and was beginning to feel at home right away. Needless to say, after a few days at work I am already comfortable and get along great with the staff. Before classes have even started I am really enjoying myself and am looking forward to my first class during the summer.
Stay tuned for updates and my journey through the Canisius MBA program.
