Your Preparation for Post-MBA Career Begins Today!

The Graduate Business Career Center (GBCC) staff welcomes you to the MA-HRIR  program at the Carlson School of Management. We are excited you chose The Carlson School and look forward to working with you throughout the next two years. It may seem early, but your preparation for your post-graduation career begins today!

While your formal start for the career search will start in September with the Orientation, we have several tasks you need to complete before you arrive on campus. See the information below for a complete list of pre-arrival tasks. It is important that you meet all listed deadlines so that you are prepared for the first search process – an internship between your first and second year in the program. Visit this site often as updates to assignments and tasks will be made throughout the summer.
