Full-time MBA orientation

NC State's Jenkins Graduate School of Management welcomed its largest-ever incoming class of full-time MBA students this week. This spring our admissions team recruited way more applications than ever before, so working with the department heads I developed a plan to expand our faculty capacity that would allow us to accommodate all qualified applicants. There were 67 new students at orientation, where they participated in exercises in team-building and cross-cultural communication and learned about personality types and academic requirements. Most of the new students are from North Carolin. New international students arrived from China, India, New Zealand, Spain, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.

This class will help our program achieve two important goals. First, we will be able to attract a larger range of employers for on-campus recruiting because we will have more critical mass in more areas. Second, the NC State MBA program will now be eligible to participate in a wider range of MBA rankings, including Business Week, Financial Times, and Wall Street Journal.
