So which MBA program is the perfect fit for you? You\u2019ve memorized program rankings and websites, but you\u2019re looking for an X factor. Consider the following four\u00a0reasons why the Notre Dame MBA program could be at\u00a0the top of your list:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The student experience:<\/strong>\u00a0The Notre Dame MBA program has small class sizes, so students’ experiences are very personalized. Before you know it,\u00a0Thirsty Thursday<\/a> transitions from a networking opportunity to recapping a week with old friends. The Notre Dame community is also very\u00a0welcoming\u00a0and great at making\u00a0MBAs feel more like Notre Dame students than detached grad students.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Name recognition:<\/strong> Even your most casual acquaintance knows the Notre Dame brand. Try it on: Tell your friends you\u2019re considering Notre Dame, and gauge their reaction.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Living in a college town: <\/strong>Notre Dame = South Bend, and South Bend = Notre Dame.\u00a0<\/strong>This college town revolves around the academic calendar. Late-night study breaks in sweatpants are commonplace here. There are a ton of great places to study on campus, and many local restaurants deliver straight to the Mendoza building.\u00a0<\/span>Ask a student<\/span><\/a> about their favorites!<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Irish athletics:<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s\u00a0infamous MBA tailgates<\/span><\/a> for the\u00a0<\/span>world-famous<\/span><\/a> football team, top flight men\u2019s AND women\u2019s hoops, mocking visiting hockey players, soccer, LAX bruh, or even fencing, Notre Dame sports are the REAL DEAL. Even if you went to an undergraduate school with big-time athletics, you\u2019ll be welcome to adopt the Fighting Irish as your own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit the\u00a0<\/span>Notre Dame MBA website<\/span><\/a> for all the <\/span>official reasons<\/span><\/a> to choose the program, but make a mental note to thank me at the first tailgate when you use this list to decide!<\/span><\/p>\n

Go Irish!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
