Two-year MBA students have the opportunity to pursue any of more than 20 concentrations, which all fit within the school’s five primary academic areas. Also during the first semester, students participate in the Goizueta Leadership Development Program to learn how to be an effective team member. First-year students also take part in a Goizueta IMPACT 360 project, a real-world consulting project for a local business in Atlanta. First-year students are assigned to a team with two to five other students, work with faculty throughout the year and finally make recommendations to client and faculty panels. Some past clients have included the American Cancer Society, The Home Depot, King’s Hawaiian and Turner.
