Madison Tapscott ('20)

It was a highly regarded program which would allow me to have exposure to MBA-level courses and give me the fundamentals needed to start my career in business. I had heard great things about the GDB from program alumni and I saw it as a great opportunity to learn and earn credits towards a future MBA.

Through the GDB, I was exposed to the fundamentals of business and developed a critical understanding of subjects ranging from financial accounting to human capital management. Alongside the academic curriculum, the program gave me the opportunity to work in a dynamic team environment and hone my presentation and project management skills.

I highly recommend the Smith GDB program. It’s a fantastic way to learn the business essentials, grow as a professional and prepare yourself for the workforce. The four-month program is jam-packed with learning opportunities, and if you put in the time you will see a strong return on your investment!
