  <title><![CDATA[GT Students Prepare Today to Advance Their Careers with Georgia Tech’s Scheller MBA Pathway Program]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Georgia Tech&rsquo;s MBA program at Scheller College currently ranks <strong>#4 Highest MBA Student Satisfaction</strong> (<em>Bloomberg Businessweek</em>), <strong>#4 Best MBA Job Placement</strong> (<em>Bloomberg Businessweek</em>), and <strong>#3 Best MBA Classroom Experience</strong> (<em>Princeton Review</em>) in the nation. Now, Georgia Tech undergrads have the unique opportunity to apply to be pre-admitted to the MBA program during their senior year and then return at a later date to attain their MBA.</p>

<p>Launched in 2014, Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business&rsquo; <strong><em>MBA Pathway </em></strong>initiative enables qualified Tech students to be accepted into the MBA program prior to graduation, gain professional career experience after leaving Tech, then exercise one of two MBA options: return to enroll in the full-time MBA program (22 months) or continue with their career and earn their MBA in the self-paced evening MBA program.</p>

<p>A diverse group of students from colleges across the Institute have applied to the Pathway program. Katie Lloyd, executive director of MBA admissions states, &ldquo;The Georgia Tech undergraduate degree coupled with the MBA is a powerful combination. It is a profile that resonates extremely well with employers.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The Georgia Tech Scheller MBA admissions team will be hosting an on-campus <a href="https://www.scheller.gatech.edu/news-events/events/event.html?event_id=2999">information session</a> Thursday, October 5, at 5:45 p.m. Register to attend or contact Paula Wilson, director of MBA Admissions, <a href="mailto:paula.wilson@scheller.gatech.edu">paula.wilson@scheller.gatech.edu</a> for more information on the MBA Pathway program.</p>
