To be successful in the contemporary business market, a candidate needs a repertoire of knowledge forged equally from experience and from education. After earning my undergraduate degree, I accepted a position with a private transportation firm and entered the workforce. My time working as an administration manager exposed me to the demands of a fast-paced private market. I learned to adapt quickly to meet the needs of my employer and the clients that my company served. Now it is time to enhance my work experience with education. I decided to invest in an MSA/MBA to gain the leadership and accounting theory necessary to achieve my goal of working in public accounting. I believe that Northeastern’s D’Armore-McKim School of Business will impart me with robust and relevant skills, which, along with my work experience, will make me competitive in the current job market.
I am drawn to Northeastern’s philosophy of experiential learning. Hands-on practice is invaluable. The three-month internship incorporated into the MSA/MBA program provides a student with the opportunity to apply newly learned skills to real world situations. In addition, it allows an employer to evaluate a student’s potential as a permanent employee. During my internship, I hope to demonstrate my worth to an employer and convert my internship into a permanent job.
I have set a goal to network with my peers in the program and to leave Northeastern not only with two strong graduate degrees but also with a strong
Internship is a period of work experience offered by an employer to give people (usually college students and graduates) exposure to the working environment. It gives them an opportunity to get first-hand experience. The growing need for practical learning led to the emergence of internship. It helps to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. Internships in any form- paid, unpaid or co-operative learning has now become a standard practice for college students. It has
My purpose of choosing to pursue a Doctorate in Business Administration is to prepare myself for advancement in my current employment and provide opportunities to elevate my qualifications. Currently, I am employed with a manufacturing corporation for the past 18 years as a collections/credit manager and work part-time as adjunct professor for a massage therapy school. I have been successful in business for the past 16 years, and I am looking for a new personal challenge to achieve the highest degree in the management field. However, expanding my knowledge skills enrolling in a doctorate program at Liberty University can only have a major impact in my life and the privilege to influence the lives of countless individuals.
The main reason for completing the MSA program at Nichols College is to better serve my clients and get one step closer in achieving my goal of becoming a CPA. This reason has not changed since I started this master’s program. I have been out of school for a long time and I know that the best way to achieve my goals were to further my education in order to keep up with the technology and the accounting profession. Therefore, I believe that by attaining my Masters at Nichols College, I will be able to advance in my career and better serve my clients. My personal goal of becoming a CPA and one day be able to own my own practice is becoming more of a reality versus just a thought of someday I will go back to school and take the exam..
When entering the Kelley School of Business two years ago, I was unsure which path in business I was interested in pursuing. The Kelley School offered a myriad of career options to pursue, and I was only a freshman coming from a school in Northwest Indiana with little prior experience in the area of business. I had chosen to attend Kelley based on my mathematical abilities and interpersonal communication skills, two skills perfectly matched to the area of finance and accounting. After spending two years learning multiple areas of business, I realized I had made the right decision when I fell in love with my accounting and data analytics courses. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the material in these classes, and the experiences I have received
Experiential learning is a process through which students practice skills, obtain knowledge, and derive values from real-life situations. There are different methods of this type of learning including: field trips, internships, field research, and service learning projects. These assignments and activities give students the opportunity to experience reflective, data-driven, and problem solving scenarios. According to David Kolb's theory on experiential learning, “ Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience” (Kolb, 1984, p.38). His theory includes experience, perception, cognition, and behavior. This type of learning is important for business students, university programs, and students to participate in.
Second, getting the opportunity to experience an internship is something every person should do. This experience gives you a full understanding of what your interests are and the career path you want to take. This privilege allowed me to put into practice a few of
It has been difficult to verbalize all that I have learned while interning at Pathways for Change. Much of the learning in an applied experience is subtle enough as to go unnoticed. I had countless moments of making connections to courses I have taken and theories I have read learned about in my studies. Because of my experience interning at Pathways for Change, I have attained a glimpse of what graduate school will be like, I have a clearer sense of the career path I want to follow, and I feel that I have learned a greater respect for client’s backgrounds. These learnings have been immensely helpful in supporting my current and future professional development.

As a business owner with a self-proclaimed visionary mindset, deciding on a school to further my education and help embark on my path in the business world came down to a matter of a few questions: What program will prepare me most for handling real world business matters?; What program will help me smart business decisions for other businesses as well as my own? And last but not least, what program can put me in the best position to help the people around me? Taking all of these questions into consideration led me to the McColl School of Business’s PMBA program. I believe what they have going on is what resonates with what I am doing.
Obtaining a doctoral degree in business administration has been a life-long goal. I have worked towards this now for the past few years as part of my larger goal, to embark on a second career as a teacher, not only in an academic setting but also in other areas of my life, especially in the workplace as a mentor, and in helping to guide and teach others. I believe a doctoral degree in business will not only help me in cognitive reasoning and thinking, but will also enable me gain better focus in the area of management. This focus can help me work more effectively with others within my organization to manage our processes better. By increasing my knowledge with a Doctorate in Business Administration, I believe I can help mold future minds and bring added value to the management within my organization.
