Student Life
There is an immense amount of educational opportunity outside of the classroom.

The Leadership and Professional Development program is packed with incredible resources. It focuses on assessing and identifying strengths, self-awareness, observed assessment, simulating business scenarios, career search skills, areas of growth, best-practices, leadership research, interaction with professionals, and the Orientation Overnight Retreat to build teamwork and communication skills. The course of the program is filled with research, case competitions, mentor relationships, the Business Essentials workshop, advisors, and the Goizueta Servant Leaders.
Another way to develop leadership skills is through participation in student-led clubs, including the BBA Council, 180 Degrees Consulting, Ascend, Alternative Investments Group, Beta Alpha Psi, Consult Your Community, Data Analytics Club, Marketing Club, Real Estate Group, and Women in Finance. The Undergraduate Business School Leadership Conference, led by Goizueta students, and the Emory Entrepreneurship Summit, are excellent resources to enhance business knowledge and experience. Resources specifically for MBA students include team building at the Leader’s Reaction Course, Alumni speakers, summer networking, career development, Goizueta Advanced Leadership Academy, and Delta Air Lines Leadership Coaching Fellows. MBA students can experience learning through the IMPACT program, which involves working on real-world projects addressing business issues with companies like Coca-Cola and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
