“Bridge to Business allowed me to explore various business fields, including financial management, marketing, and project management. As an economics major, I can't always take the business classes I want, but B2B gave me a better understanding of the business classes I want to take. The program helped me both academically and professionally, allowing me to connect with ASC alums, GT professors, and local ATL professionals. As a first-generation college student, I am always on the lookout for new and different opportunities. B2B gave me insight into MBA programs and why they can be beneficial. If I ever pursue an MBA, I will reflect on my time in B2B having a better understanding of graduate degrees like these.”
