Named among the top 15 U.S. graduate programs in Global Management by Princeton Review.

I wondered how I would do in a role-playing simulation. By the end of the experience, I’d gained so much insight into myself as a leader and as a professional.

Effective Career Planning, is the introductory course all Suffolk MBAs take. It always receives the highest course marks available on student evaluations. In this course you will: • Examine your professional skills in an online self-assessment tool used by top-level firms across the country • Role play senior executives as you determine the success of a global company faced with critical decisions in a fast-paced, hands on business simulation • Write a Career Development Plan to identify personal goals for your Suffolk MBA experience and beyond

With 10 years work experience, I valued the opportunity to sit back and analyze where I am going with this degree and with my career. The course lives up to its name!

Corporate recruiters and HR directors indicate there’s more to gaining a competitive edge in the work place than academics.
