One Semester to go!



With one semester to go, for my MBA, the goal of graduation is in sight. Now if a job were also in sight we would be set, but all in due time. For now I will think about the semester ahead and how it will continue to prepare me for the job market.

I am taking six classes this semester which are:

Corporate Finance - this will build on the finance classes I have taken previously while putting theory and practice together.
Leadership Advantage - this class matched each student, from day one of the program, with an executive coach to help us with our leadership preparation and skills.
Global Competative Strategy - sounds like it will cover decision making process at multiple levels of an organization. From what I have heard our professor is great and the class is top notch.
Project Management - This will look back at some more interesting operational problems and get into the nitty gritty of project management. Should be pretty helpful since I am leading our field consultancy group.
Advanced Financial Modeling Techniques - I am expecting this class to help put more of the corporate finance into practice and help me develop some interesting tools for the future, but who knows.
Field Consultancy - This is a very interesting way for us to get hands on work outside of our summer internships experiences. It gives students the opportunity to help companies work through real challenges and see their solutions challenged and implimented.
