Weekend MBA: Student Profile

Students entering the Weekend MBA Program come from a wide variety of backgrounds encompassing all major for-profit employers in the Capital Region and beyond, state and federal government agencies, small and entrepreneurial organizations, and all aspects of the not-for-profit arena.

Students come to advance their current careers or start new ones. They also join us for specific knowledge, to better understand the integration of business functionalities, or to study in an international learning environment. But whatever their reasons, they all share some common characteristics: they are intelligent, highly motivated, committed to their program of study, and ready to build a solid business foundation that will make them more well-rounded executives.

Our students have at least three years professional work experience and many have more. Many have demonstrated tremendous career growth while others have outstanding potential. Students have been successful in their undergraduate academic studies and some have already completed graduate degrees. They have demonstrated ability in reasoning and analysis, and communicate their ideas clearly. The program embraces diversity in background and work experience, as well as ethnicity and undergraduate majors.

Students do not need to have an academic or functional background in business to succeed in our program. If you are ready to work and are ready to learn, then the Weekend MBA Program may be for you!
