Students
Overview
Students accepted into the LBS program are mid-career adults from a variety of backgrounds, including public relations, business, the arts, communications, industry, education, and social services. It is anticipated that most LBS students will have regular employment. Whether they work in the public or private sector, for small organizations or large, all are highly-motivated mid-career adults with some post-secondary education and at least 10 years of full-time experience in the workplace.
Persons considering the LBS program do so for many reasons. Some are seeking a new professional direction; some are professionally stalled; some want to advance in their current career; some need a degree to move forward. All are ready for a personal challenge.
"I appreciate the motivation, maturity, and commitment that each student brings to the program. It creates a dynamic synergy in the cohort that is infectious and palpable. Being part of a cohort has nurtured a sense of shared responsibility for our learning process."
