MBA Summer Experience

Immerse Yourself

Unique to the One-Year MBA, the Summer Experience is packed with opportunities like company field visits, leadership training, client work, and optional international travel. Take advantage of exclusive networking sessions and panels with business leaders and alumni to help frame your goals in the marketplace. This intense summer program is more than academics, experiential learning, and career preparation. Our One-Year MBA students find time for fun, too. You will explore the best our city has to offer — from arts and culture, professional sports, top-rated restaurants, and countless outdoor activities. Enjoy bands at music festivals, community outreach programs, or spend time biking the Beltline. In Atlanta, there is something for everyone. Part team building, part coursework, part career prep, and part fun, the Summer Experience lays the groundwork for a full MBA experience, masterfully delivered with everything you need and nothing you will want to miss.

The Goizueta Difference

  • World-Class Business Education

    Not only will you learn from world renowned faculty but you will also engage with a best-in-class MBA curriculum that is hands-on, client-focused, and immersive. You don't have to take our word for it. U.S. News & World Report, Businessweek, The Economist, and Poets & Quants all rank Goizueta as a top MBA program.

  • Intimate Learning Environment

    Goizueta is small by design and designed to be small. You’ll begin the program by creating close bonds in our intensive Summer Experience. The personalized attention you deserve carries on throughout the program — both inside and outside the classroom. You’ll forge lasting relationships with faculty, program and career staff, and your classmates alike that will enhance your academic experience and enrich your career.

  • Dynamic, Global City

    Pursuing your Goizueta MBA means access to all Atlanta has to offer.

Add in a vibrant start-up culture and hot real estate sector, the world’s most-traveled airport, and world-class arts, entertainment, and sports — and you’ll discover Atlanta has more to offer than good weather and southern charm.

Goizueta Core Values

IDEALS TO LEAD BY

  • A Goizueta Core Value: Courage

    We have the courage to drive change in the face of uncertainty and adversity. One of our most important core values, courage can take many forms – the courage to leave one’s home country for the unknown challenge of earning an MBA or the decision to walk away from a good job to chart an entirely new career.

  • A Goizueta Core Value: Integrity

    We demand of ourselves and of our community the highest level of unyielding integrity. At Goizueta, we expect all members of our community to act in accordance with their own beliefs and our shared values, even in the face of personal risk or external pressure.

  • A Goizueta Core Value: Accountability

    We challenge ourselves and our community to uphold unwavering accountability in all of our intentions and actions. We must honestly assess our strengths and weaknesses, keep our commitments, and acknowledge and learn from our mistakes and successes.

  • A Goizueta Core Value: Rigor

    We are steadfast in our academic, professional, and personal commitments in the pursuit of excellence. At Goizueta, we seek challenges that place us outside our comfort zone. High expectations and goals are the standards that we choose for each other and ourselves.

  • A Goizueta Core Value: Diversity

    We welcome and advance diversity of thought, association, and purpose. Our success is measured by the inclusion of all voices. We deeply value diversity in the backgrounds, strengths, interests, and experiences of our students and faculty.

  • A Goizueta Core Value: Team

    We believe that teamwork and collaboration are essential to success. At Goizueta, we support one another, while challenging each other to strive for excellence. By working as a team, each member is able to realize their greatest potential.

  • A Goizueta Core Value: Community

    We treat others with mutual respect and empathy in our pursuit to positively influence, serve, and represent our community. Our Goizueta community is based on trust, support, and mutual respect.

Atlanta: A Diverse, Global City

With corporate giants, tech start-ups, a highly-regarded restaurant industry, a thriving art scene, one of the country’s largest film destinations, and the world’s most-traveled airport, business is booming in Atlanta.
