“I knew an MBA from Texas A&M was the right move to get me where I wanted to be in my career. I just never expected to be able to leverage my studies so quickly, landing a huge career pivot mid-program.”
“The Professional MBA program at Texas A&M has not only elevated my business acumen, but also connected me with a diverse and driven community of professionals. Every weekend feels like an investment in my future, and it’s already paying off. There is nowhere else you can level up your career, learn from brilliant professors, and still be surrounded by classmates who inspire you… and make you smile!”
“The Mays Professional MBA program was my top choice largely because of the strength of the Aggie Network. I’ve worked alongside several Aggie colleagues and met many individuals who proudly wear their Aggie Rings, and I’ve consistently noticed how it sparks meaningful conversations and connections.”
“When I entered the Texas A&M Professional MBA program, my goal was clear: to pivot my career and gain the tools to enhance my business acumen and leadership abilities. Through the dedication of the professors and the hands-on, real-world scenarios and cases I tackled with my teams, I was able to achieve a meaningful career change while also growing into a leader who can develop and inspire others. I credit much of my professionalism and career development to the Professional MBA program and the foundational skills it instilled in me.”
“Getting an MBA through Texas A&M has been one of the most challenging, yet one of the most rewarding experiences. Initially unfamiliar with the Aggie culture, I quickly learned that their Core Values are not only stated but lived and experienced and built into nearly every aspect of the program. The more exciting aspect of the program was the ability to not only learn from your professors but to learn from your cohort and create lasting friendships.”
