Follow Your Passion While Earning Your Graduate Business Degree
The choice in front of you is a pivotal one: a choice that will shape your life in many ways. Choosing a graduate business school is a decision with many angles to contemplate. We ask that you consider placing one factor above all. You.
Find Your Fire. The Wake Forest University Schools of Business believes that true success is achieved through the pursuit of one’s passion. Their mission is to provide students with the means not only to explore this passion, but also to use it as a tool to grow as a leader in all areas of life. It’s a simple idea that is often lost in an increasingly fast-paced world, the idea that inspiration leads the way to accomplishment, and ultimately, fulfillment.
Do What You Love. It’s a simple equation. People who are happy in their professions are almost always more productive than those who are not, and that productivity is often what leads to a higher level of success. Given that logic, the first step when plotting your career path should be to find what drives you on a personal level, and to turn that passion into a lifelong endeavor. Says Steve Reinemund, Dean of Business at Wake Forest University, and former Chairman and CEO of PepsiCo., “Our objective is to help each student define his or her calling in life. Business students should be challenged to follow their passion so that their life’s work has significance to them, as well as to our society. A complete business education must go beyond technical knowledge, offering students the environment in which to develop a game plan for life.”
Different Perspectives Lead to Different Ideas. To create truly innovative solutions, one must be able to see a challenge from all sides. Embracing diversity in thought, culture, and process is as essential to succeeding in the business world as it is to society. The Wake Forest University Schools of Business is openly committed to creating a diverse learning environment—one indicative of the world at large—for our students.
Building Lifelong Relationships
In the world of networking, quality still trumps quantity. In this respect, Wake Forest has proven that a smaller environment can lead to deeper relationships—the kind that last long after graduation. “I chose Wake Forest after visiting the school and falling in love with the campus and educational philosophy, but the collegial nature of the program—how everyone is so excited and willing to help one another—has turned out to be one of the best experiences so far,” says Ian Jankelowitz (MBA’10).
interaction while in the program leads to a higher level of involvement afterwards, and Wake Forest has found that the depth of the relationships within a network like theirs has led to consistent placements for graduates of all Schools of Business programs.
Simply Put, Your Future Is Our Future. Your investment in a graduate business education is a substantial one, and it’s one for which you should expect the highest of returns. At Wake Forest, those returns begin with a higher level of personal engagement, and end with the skills and lifelong network to provide you with everything you’ll need to excel in the world of business. Our success as an institution is forever tied to your success as a leader, and you’ll find a dedication to this shared investment at the heart of everything we do.
