What It's Like to be a Full-Time MBA Student

Learn what it's like to be a student at the Carlson School of Management in the Full-Time MBA program.

"After my MBA, I plan to return to the consulting world, pivoting to corporate and management strategy. I hope to specialize in marketing and brand building projects."

– Alexis Barber, Class of 2022, Brands Enterprise

"I chose Carlson for its focus on experiential learning, its small class size that fosters close interaction, its relationship with large fortune 500 companies in the Twin Cities, and most importantly its ethos of business being a force for good."

– Harsha Reddy, '21 MBA, Associate Marketing Manager, Ecolab

"I decided to get my MBA in a different country to gain international experience and learn different cultures, and it has been a great ride... Also, I wanted a school that provided great opportunities post-MBA; Minneapolis is home to seventeen Fortune 500 companies and there are great opportunities. Having a strong career center is also a huge plus."

– Olawale Ojo-Fati, '19 MBA, Senior Instock Manager (RLD), Amazon
