ACCELERATE YOUR CAREER “Georgia Tech’s essence as an engineering and technology powerhouse plays out in the classroom in a really interesting way.

Students here come from a wide variety of backgrounds, but always challenge and support each other. I made a decisive choice to immerse myself in a place where we play to each other’s strengths.”

Nik Dragovic, MBA 2022

Product Manager, Emory University

“Classmates are one of the strongest parts of my Scheller experience. I learned a tremendous amount both professionally and personally from many of the students I interact with. I even had students from programs at different schools remark on the positive relationships among Scheller MBAs. I’m grateful to be part of a program that fosters such relationships. I know I'll have friends I stay connected with long after I leave Scheller, along with some great business contacts.”
