Join a close-knit cohort of classmates in Aggieland that fosters collaboration and lifelong connections, and leverage the prestigious Aggie Network for opportunities and mentorship.
“The spirit of Aggieland is what brought me back to Texas A&M and the Mays MBA program. While most MBA programs provide similar academic courses, the Aggie Network instantly opens the door to opportunities and connections. A&M grads are friendly, passionate, and willing to help in both personal and professional settings. While Mays MBA classes might be small, the network gained is extensive!”
“My time at Mays was truly transformational. It was an opportunity to build upon my post-undergrad experience in hotel operations and view the business world through a more holistic lens… I learned the skills and information necessary to understand business practices more fully, including accounting, finance, operations, and marketing… The bonus? I made some incredible lifelong friendships along the way.”
“In the classroom, we had professors who cared about their students as people and learners. They pushed us to think differently about the world, concepts, and challenges being faced in the marketplace. They taught us how to ask better questions, communicate more effectively, and think critically about the content we covered.”
“My time at Mays Business School was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life. Before my MBA, I believed a traditional career path was the only way forward. Through real-world challenges, hands-on projects, and mentorship from my professors, the staff, and those who had walked this path before me, I discovered what truly fits me. That journey led me to start my own business.”
“The Mays MBA program helped me grow in multiple ways. Academically, it equipped me to approach business problems from different perspectives, while personally, it helped me gain deeper insights into my own strengths and behaviors. Joining this program was the single best decision I could have made for my career, and I recommend this program to anyone seeking a world-class business education.”
“The Mays MBA program helped me with finding connections among people and becoming a technical translator so I could show value across different functions. This eventually led me to explore leadership theory to receive a doctorate and make the transition to higher education where now my career now bridges academia and industry. The program was critical to my career path and I leverage the lessons I learned on a daily basis.”
