From HBA to MBA: Unpacking the Ivey Journey – Insights from Current Students
In this episode, Ivey MBA Recruiting Associate, Rachael Terejko, is joined by four current MBA students – each of whom also completed their HBA at Ivey. Anita Wing Lee, HBA ’14, MBA ’25, Natasha Shew, HBA ’15, MBA ’25, Moe Farouk, HBA ’22, MBA ’25, and Katerina Pankhurst, HBA ’20, MBA ’25 share their unique journeys from HBA to MBA, unpacking the differences between their two program experiences. They discuss any initial hesitations about considering returning to Ivey for the Accelerated MBA for Ivey HBA grads program, the impact of class size and diverse work experiences on their learning, and the changes in academic rigor with the freedom to choose electives and international experiences. The group also dives into the shift in career management and recruiting opportunities, and how they balance the academic and social aspects of the MBA experience. Tune in for insights on how the MBA journey at Ivey builds on, and diverges from, the HBA experience!
