A career pivot is a big decision and takes time and investment, but it is possible!

So, you want to know what it’s like getting an Executive MBA from a top business school, navigating a career pivot, juggling family and friends, all while growing an entire human being in one’s belly?

Whether it’s prepping for an accounting midterm in the Weekend Executive MBA program or founding a company, our ability to succeed comes down to mindset.

The ability to work and study together on campus was an experience that was invaluable to my time in the program.

As I looked ahead to a full term of new classes, a demanding schedule at work and a long list of summer activities for my toddlers, I wondered how I’d manage it all.

Seeing the courage of my classmates who took on new opportunities with the skills they acquired in the program inspired me to do the same.

I remember a few years ago when I began considering this process, I had no women colleagues who had even considered pursuing an MBA.

Our admissions team can help you decide which MBA format would work best with your schedule, what is the best return on investment for your career aspirations, or if the Fuqua network is aligned with your values.

I sought out Fuqua’s Weekend Executive MBA program because it was the best fit for where I currently am in my career.
