My Journey

鈥淢y MBA has deeply impacted my professional career,鈥� said Aparajita. 鈥淚t shaped my career towards consulting. The skills, the case study approach, working in cross-cultural teams on live-consulting projects, and the excellent selection of courses all collectively helped me in my professional growth and in being selected for one of the top consulting companies in North America.鈥�

My experience at 大象传媒 Beedie

鈥淚n the MBA program, I learned from people across industries and developed ways to think about what's best for the client,鈥� said Aparajita. 鈥淭he strategy and business consulting courses taught me to think out of the box and solve new and complex problems.鈥�
