Welcome to the 2009 fall semester! We are here to help navigate the resources available to you as an MBA student. Our Student Affairs team hopes to see you at the various events and activities taking place throughout the semester. Feel free to visit us during office hours in the MBA Program suite, 1-110.

MBA Program Mission: To recruit and enroll the highest quality of MBA students and provide them with world-class knowledge, leadership development, career opportunities and valued connections through collaboration with faculty, staff and the global community.

The MBA student services team will help you get the most out of your Carlson School experience. We encourage all students to contact the Full-Time MBA Registrar or Academic Adviser to discuss course planning. You should also fill out a Graduation Plan and view your APAS report to track your progress towards your degree.

Academic Advising is here to support and enhance your MBA program experience at the Carlson School of Management by providing comprehensive academic advising and offering you the opportunity to engage in a collaborative relationship that can help you make informed, responsible decisions. To set up an appointment with an academic advisor, please contact B.Bea Rajsombath.

Academic Progress Audit System (APAS) is a report that tracks your progress toward completing your MBA. It provides information about core and elective credit requirements, completed classes and credits, and the number of credits you need to take before you can graduate. To access your report through One Stop, you'll need your X.500 user name and password. For questions, please contact Jessica McLain.

Graduation Planner is an online tool for students to use as a guide in planning their academic career. The MBA Student Affairs Office recommends that students submit a plan at least twice during their academic career; once after completion of most core course requirements, and again when approximately 10 credits remain in their program, with revisions submitted as needed. For questions, please contact Peter Woxland.

Beyond the MBA student services team, there are many offices at Carlson that will help you maximize your MBA experience.

Alumni Relations offers a myriad of opportunities for current students to get involved and connect with Carlson alumni.

Diversity Initiatives is a resource to all Carlson students that seeks to connect them with development and networking opportunities that will enhance their ability to be competitive in a diverse workplace and global society. For questions, please contact Keelii McCarty.

By participating in a semester exchange or a global enrichment short-term program, Carlson MBA students develop an understanding of global business through first-hand experience in the competitive world economy.
