Where Will Your Network Take You?

2012-02-21

An MBA will develop your leadership potential, improve critical skills and allow you to distinguish yourself in the job hunt. Another big factor in getting an MBA, though, is the connections you'll make along the way — in class, on projects, with your fellow students, with faculty, with key contacts at great companies. With W. P. Carey's alumni network, you have a common bond with more than 90,000 alums. And that's just the students. The faculty and industry connections you'll make can open doors for you both in the short term and as your career progresses. For Jeremy Lyons, the connections he made through a marketing project in class gave him not only the skills he needed to be a viable candidate for a position at Sony, it also gave him a personal contact at the company who was already familiar with his work as a W. P. Carey MBA student.
