Additional Benefit for All MBA Students
MBA Mentoring Program
The purpose of the MBA Mentorship Program is to cultivate relationships between current graduate students and alumni or friends of the university. MBA students must apply for the program, and the mentors and mentees meet once a month from September through April. The MBA mentees gain insight to businesses and organizations, get career advice and expand their network. FAQ If you have questions, you can contact the Business Graduate Programs Office at businessgrad@unl.edu or 402-472-2338
MBA Mentoring Program FAQ
How Do I Qualify to apply?
Students who have completed at least four courses in the MBA program but no more than 39 credit hours by the end of the Spring 2020 semester and have a 3.00 cumulative GPA or higher are eligible to apply. Both online and on-campus students are welcome to participate in the mentorship program.
How often do mentors/mentees meet?
While individual mentors/mentees will decide how often they would like to meet, we anticipate this to be approximately a once a month commitment.
When does the program start and end?
Formal mentoring meetings will begin in September and conclude in April. Mentors and mentees will decide the best way to conduct a recurring meeting through Zoom or other video conference options, phone or in-person are encouraged.
How does the matching process work?
When students are selected, the matching process begins. We plan to match mentors and students as best as we can based on industry interest (management, business analytics, supply chain management, marketing, economics and finance) and years of professional experience for both the mentor and mentee. The number of students accepted into the program and their industry interest area will dictate the number of mentors needed to facilitate the program. We plan to have mentors and students matched by the end of August and start the program in September.
