Career Focused from Day One

If you’re interested in advancing your career, shouldn’t the MBA or GMBA program you choose be career focused from day one? 

Courses should be job relevant and, as corporate recruiters and executives indicate, getting to the next level in your career takes more than an advanced knowledge of accounting, finance, economics, marketing, and information systems.

Getting to the next level takes an ability to synthesize information, analyze situations, react thoughtfully and critically, and in some cases quickly, to make the hard decisions. You need to be a person of influence.

Many schools talk about leadership – but it’s a hard quality to define and an even harder one to teach. Instead, the Suffolk MBA and GMBA programs emphasize a career focus from day one that pushes you to be a person of influence.

Persons of Influence make a difference in whatever layer of the organization they are located. Influencers welcome change and use the opportunity to make things happen. Influencers can talk and relate to individuals from different backgrounds and beliefs, finding not only the common ground; but also the fringes of agreement that can lead to creative sparks and new ideas.
