Corporate Residency
Corporate Residency: Meaningful, MBA-Level Experience
In order to become a leader in your field and accelerate your career, it’s going to take more than just an outstanding classroom experience. It’s going to take learning that only comes from meaningful, MBA-level experience. And that is where our corporate residency program makes the difference.
Our program is truly unlike anything out there, giving you the experience, confidence, and a lifetime of valuable connections that will help you standout professionally. Our Graduate Career Center works diligently with you to find your perfect corporate fit for your residency. Even as a student, you’ll be working as a paid employee at a leading business in your field of interest. The typical duration of a corporate residency is six-months. This duration will enable you to make a meaningful contribution to the company and build lasting connections. For experienced students that are not changing careers, there is an opportunity to accelerate your program by shortening your residency to three months. Conversely, you may want to undertake two six-month corporate residencies to maximize your opportunity to build your skill set and resume.

100 percent of our first-year Full-Time MBA class was employed at a corporate residency—many at top companies or entrepreneurial startups.
The corporate residency program is unique in that you’re brought in to both learn and be productive from day one.
