Katz MBA - A Transformation Process
As you embark upon your graduate business education, you bring with you a set of academic, professional and social experiences. In addition, you have a vision for your future. The expectation you have coming to an MBA program is that you will undergo a transformation. You will build an academic foundation that will provide you with the knowledge and tools to approach business in different manner than before. You will have experiences that will shape your mind and approach to problem solving, strengthen your ability to analyze complex business issues, lead people, drive for results and work as an effective team member. This transformation begins with a assessment of yourself.
Right from the beginning of your MBA program you will have the opportunity to perform a self inventory with tests such as CareerLeader, 360 competency assessment, and develop your own personalized career plan. A career counselor will help you interpret and use the results, ultimately leading you to a clearer perception of yourself and your environment.
Building on this self knowledge and intended career focus, our MBA students can choose form a rich toolbox of activities to address gaps and build on strengths: professional development workshops, project courses, case competitions, leaderships training, extracurricular Katz activities and assistance from staff and faculty. We want to direct you along a path that you own to reach your intended career goals.
