I’m currently a Commerce student at the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster and overall I’ve had a really great experience so far. One of the things I like most about McMaster is the community. The campus is really welcoming and it’s easy to get involved in clubs, events, and different student organizations.
I’m part of DeGroote Women in Business, which has been a great way to meet other motivated students and attend events focused on networking, career development, and supporting women in business. There are a lot of opportunities like this that make it easy to connect with people who share similar interests.
Academically, the program balances theory with practical work like group projects and presentations, which actually helps you build real skills you’ll use in internships and future jobs. It can definitely be challenging at times, but the professors and other students are very supportive.
Campus life is also great — there are lots of study spots, good food options, and a really active student community. Overall, McMaster has been a great place to study business and grow both academically and personally.
