This semester, all of the full-time MBA students are taking Accounting, Management & Leadership, and Ethics as core classes on Monday and Wednesday mornings. Then the class has a choice of their concentration and elective courses in Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain, and Entrepreneurship. For example, I have opted for the Marketing Track so I am in the "Shopper & Consumer Behavior" and "Marketing Research" courses offered on Tuesday and Thursday morning.
This schedule gives me the flexibility to continue my internship with Kellogg in the afternoons on Monday-Thursday and all day on Friday. As a part of our internships, the Career Center has organized a Presentation and Poster Competition allowing all of us an opportunity to hone our presentation skills and get some exposure to local employers. The first round was Friday and even though I wasn't selected to move on, I am grateful to have had the chance to participate and practice selling my internship experiences.
Yesterday, we received the Professional Development schedule for the semester and there are some exciting opportunities for the fall. The GSB will be offering Advanced Powerpoint, Advanced Excel - Macros & Programming, Six Sigma, and Negotiation. I plan on attending each of these since they will be immensely beneficial to the things that make MBAs valuable job candidates.
Well, I'm off to finish my reading for the coming week!
