While on the road visiting eighteen foreign countries over the course of my two years with the Globetrotters, I realized that there was a growing need for qualified international managers. I knew that a career in international management was something I would like to pursue, and an MBA seemed like a logical next step. After visiting several campuses, UB impressed me the most. There's a great community atmosphere here, and the people seem genuinely willing to help one another. Looking back on my first days in the MBA program, I see that the school's MBA Advantage was an excellent way to get to know my fellow classmates in a very short period of time.
Most students enjoy the cohort format.
It lets you see how relationships develop over time, and you begin to appreciate the value of teamwork. Having the chance to draw on the knowledge and experience of my fellow classmates has helped me to see beyond my traditional way of thinking. And I've already noticed improvements in my communication and teamwork skills. Most of all, the cohort structure and MBA Advantage have shown me the importance of being responsive and adaptive to change, whether it be in the workplace or in the marketplace.
