"The awesome relationships I have developed since coming to Mohawk, both with friends and teachers, will last me a lifetime."
Sylvia, Business Administration Student

Default image

“Mohawk College prepared me for the workforce.

I gained excellent presentation skills by being involved in projects that emphasized the written collaboration as well as oral delivery.

Mohawk taught me the value of both independent as well as team related projects. Within team projects, delegation and negotiation skills were also developed.

Being involved in many interactive projects forced me to develop excellent time management skills. Working in teams allows for room to consider as well as adapt to others learning styles and techniques. Mohawk motivated me to achieve excellent results as well as dedicated to success. Mohawk College was a great stepping stone for university.”

“Mohawk College has given me the opportunity to further pursue my education in the United States, where I have earned a SUNY (State University of New York) degree. Mohawk and Buffalo State have equipped me with the technological, problem solving, and business presentation skills needed to further continue my studies in the Masters program, as well as work as a graduate assistant. Being involved in international education between both institutions has enabled the collaboration of new and continued success for Mohawk and Buffalo State.”
Rada, Business Administration Graduate

“When you hire a Mohawk grad, you know you're getting...
A knowledgeable employee who will learn fast and make a great impact on your business. We learned leadership, teamwork, active implementation and more.

The value of going to Mohawk is...
Gaining the necessary skills, knowledge and experiences to be fully prepared for your career. Help is always there if you need it, but the lessons are so all-encompassing that help was rarely needed.”
Michael, Business Administration Graduate

"My family moved from Quebec specifically so I could attend Mohawk as we had heard nothing but good things about the college."
Rachel, Business Administration Student

Business Administration Student Jacqueline in the Mohawk Hallways

"I decided to pursue an Advanced Diploma in Business Administration at the McKeil School of Business after university because I believe Mohawk offers hands-on skills that will transfer to my future career in business. Mohawk's smaller class sizes and emphasis on collaborative learning have helped strengthen my teamwork and leadership skills, which I believe will ensure my success in the business world. The opportunity to network with and learn from faculty who are experienced in fields such as marketing, finance and accounting also drew me to Mohawk's business administration program. The combination of a university degree in business and communication theory, and a diploma that emphasizes experiential learning, will enhance my skills and opportunities within the field of business."
Jacqueline, Business Administration Student
