Carlson School of Management FT-MBA Program Review

Experience during the program

I have had an awesome experience at Carlson. Because of the smaller class size (~100), the team oriented environment is very pronounced. I appreciate knowing and having a relationship with every member in the program and I think those relationships will be the most valuable thing I take away from the program. Additionally, due to it's location in the Twin Cities metro area, there are a ton of job opportunities that our dedicated Graduate Business Career Center does an excellent job of connecting us with. The Carlson name carries weight and is very well respected across a wide variety of industries. The experiential learning through the Enterprise program is an invaluable experience giving students the opportunity to work with real companies on real projects in order to better understand what its like to work as an MBA professional. I would recommend Carlson for anyone looking for a FT-MBA program.

About job placement process

I have not been concerned about job placement. The Graduate Business Career Center does an exceptional job connecting students with multiple Fortune 500 companies both locally and nationally across all industries through on-campus retruiting.
