Suffolk MBA EDGE – Ensuring Professional Development

When asked what they were looking for in a potential employee or an employee to promote up the ranks, corporate recruiters and executives indicated there’s much more to gaining a competitive edge than academics.

“As someone who earned my undergraduate degree while working full-time, I was expecting my MBA experience to be similar--no contacts outside the classroom, no sense of being part of the school, etc.  I was extremely pleased with the EDGE program and the many opportunities it provided to network with alumni, faculty, and other MBAs who are working professionals.”
