Career focused from day one

One of the first courses you’ll take in the Suffolk MBA is the 1-credit introductory course, Effective Career Planning. This is the only time you will be required to come to Boston.

The course meets one weekend at the beginning of the semester: Friday from 3:30 to 8:00 pm and Saturday from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm. The course has one follow-up session in Boston several weeks later on a Friday evening from 5:30 to 7:30 pm where you will meet with an executive coach to discuss career strategy and the art of networking. At the close of the session, you’ll join all currently registered MBAs, faculty, deans, and alumni at the bi-annual Dean’s MBA Networking Reception. North Andover students give the course their highest praise as an excellent way to focus on their career path from day one in their MBA.
