各个方向都有。USD的创业，SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT，REAL ESTATE,FINANCE项目都很好。资源和活动比较多。MARKETING相关的我了解比较少。我只了解这届一个中国同学学MARKETING方向。她之前在国内是HR，暑期实习在PETCO. 课程方面，去年BRAND MANAGEMENT的排名第一的同学直接去了纽约一家钻石公司做MARKETING INTERN. 具体相关课程，你可以登录MBA的网站查看了解一下。

分享一下我们美国同学的BLOG: https://sandiegomba.wordpress.com/

Most perspective MBA students seem to have an inherent competitive spirit – a sort of drive that makes them want to be the best in every situation they encounter. While these types are definitely present in every class, and across all universities, I believe that the University of San Diego is unique in building MBA cohorts that focus on more than being “top of the class.” I started to see this unique difference as early as orientation week, when the faculty seemed more concerned with building strong relationships than with somehow categorizing and labeling individual accomplishments. The focus was more on the unique qualities that the cohort shared, than the ones that could have separated the class. From that point on, this trend seemed to carry through.

The first semester of classes are anything but easy. In fact, I would venture to say that no single individual can make it through an MBA program. Instead, teams become heavily reliant on each other to lighten the tremendous load that comes with graduate level Business classes. For me, this was absolutely critical, as most in my team had the previous classes or experience that my political science degree did not prepare me for. This type of support is not isolated to the individual teams, but permeates throughout our entire cohort. It has created a culture in which no one team is trying to outdo another, but instead each team recognizes that the success of the cohort matters more than any single project or assignment.

It would be inaccurate to say that the culture created at the USD School of Business is built solely on the backs of the current cohort. Each one of the faculty play a critical role in addressing the current and future needs of all the MBA students. Additionally, the professors are perhaps the most passionate people that I have met to date. The small class sizes allow them to provide individual attention to any student who needs help, and they are always more than willing to accommodate.

I had several options for business school, some of which were ranked higher than the University of San Diego. Since beginning the program, I have come to realize that rankings are not everything, and should not be the sole determinant in business school selection. In fact, I feel that the culture of a school should hold equal weight to the rankings. That is because the University of San Diego is helping each cohort build life-long relationships, while giving students the critical business tools that employers are looking for in graduate-level employees. For these reasons, I am absolutely thrilled to attend the University of San Diego, and know that doing so will position me for a successful career in whichever business function I eventually land on.       Nathan McCutcheon

Internship Hunting Tips for First Year MBA Students

MBA Student Amanda Gao interviews second-year MBA Robin Gustaffson on her eCommerce intern at PETCO from June to August, 2016. The internship has become a full-time job for Robin, where she currently works as an Assistant Program Manager in the eCommerce area. Here Robin shares a few thoughts on her internship and offers advice for MBA students.

1.Could you tell us about your internship experience this semester such as your role, the task you performed or projects that you worked on? What did you benefit from this experience.  
I had an awesome internship experience! I ended up taking an internship role in the eCommerce department at Petco, which is headquartered out of San Diego. Petco’s internship program was amazing. I was assigned a real problem facing the eCommerce department of Petco and worked cross-functionally to provide recommendations to leadership. My biggest recommendation for students in internship programs is to take advantage of the experiences and guidance of current employees at the company where you intern. Although I was in the eCommerce department, I made sure to meet and learn about the roles of employees across Petco’s various departments. This gave me a unique look into some roles and positions that had always interested me. It also allowed me to consider my project from a variety of angles and perspectives. Asking questions and being willing to learn will go a long way.



2.How did you get your MBA summer internship? Do you have any suggestions for first-year MBA students on how to maximize their internship search?
I found the position that I ended up taking through USD’s internal job listing site. USD has many great tools for finding internships, including its network of students and alumni. Most of my peers found roles through networking and connections. As a first year student, you should not be afraid to reach out to second years and alumni. Although I ended up pursuing another option, one offers I received was through connecting with alumni.

The sooner you get started on your internship hunt, the sooner you will get a position and the sooner you can stop worrying about it! However, if you didn’t happen to apply to internships that were posted in the Fall cycle, don’t worry. There are plenty of internship options that open up in the Spring semester. It is definitely a stressful experience, so it’s important to relax. I didn’t hear from any companies for months and it was easy to start panicking. Unfortunately, that’s just the nature of the beast. By late April, I was still waiting to hear back on my applications and was beginning to think that I was not going to find a position.  Right as I was becoming desperate, I heard from three companies all in the same week. If you put the work in, it will pay off.



3.How did USD’s MBA program help you with the process?

USD’s MBA program helps by providing real, relevant experiences that you can speak to throughout the application and interview process. By the time I received an interview opportunity, I had engaged in several consulting projects through the MBA program. These consulting projects were across a variety of industries and required unique problem solving.  The skills that I developed by working on these projects were the skills that I spoke to during my interviews and ultimately helped land me a job. In addition to the classwork, USD’s Career Services department was crucial throughout my internship hunt. The staff of Career Services,including James Sillcox, was my go-to when I had doubts, questions, or just needed an ear to listen.
