Career Opportunities
Why wait longer to start your career or your own business when you can have a Thiel M.B.A. in just five years?
Almost everywhere you look, you’ll find a college offering an M.B.A. So why choose Thiel? One great reason is that you can start college as a freshman and leave five years later with two degrees, your B.A. and an M.B.A. Another is that at Thiel, you’ll work closely with the same outstanding faculty from the day you start until graduation day. You’ll also enjoy the dual benefits of collaboration and flexibility thanks to our on-campus courses and you’ll receive a graduate assistantship to give you hands-on experience before you graduate. But perhaps the best benefit of all is that you complete your degrees at a college that also gives you a rigorous liberal arts education to ensure that you have the critical thinking skills necessary to solve the toughest problems and the creativity to think outside the box.
