You're feeling panicked, shaky, and maybe are experiencing a bit of denial.
Graduation's coming and you don't have a job yet.
"I feel like there's a few options for people that don't have jobs at the time of graduation and one of those options is graduate school", said junior Jessica Caruso.
Sacred Heart recently announced the creation of a new Masters in Business Administration degree, or MBA for Liberal Arts and Science majors in the John F. Welch College of Business.
According to the Sacred Heart Web site, "This brand new full-time program is designed for students that have earned an undergraduate degree in the Liberal Arts or the Sciences and wish to obtain an MBA in two years or less."
The degree requires a minimum of 156 credits, 120 of which are from the student's undergraduate degree.
"I'm a Liberal Arts major and I think that students would be at a great advantage and would be presented with good opportunities with this program," said senior Justin Schiavone.
The program will enhance career options as a Liberal Arts or Science undergraduate and also offers internship opportunities, leadership skills and ethical standards of business behavior.
"I think this program sounds fantastic. It's such a good thing to be able to do in two years. Even if you mess around for four years and then change your mind after you graduate, you can still get your Masters", said junior Manny Santiago.
The program also requires a two-term internship in the United States and a summer internship in Luxembourg, or a comparable international experience.
"I leapt at the opportunity to study for my MBA in Luxembourg, and it's a decision I will recommend to any and every prospective MBA student," said MBA graduate student Jason Roberts.
The internship is structured to provide students with a dose of 'real-world' experience which will enhance their academic experience and their employment opportunities upon graduation.
"My first class, International Business, was twelve students representing eleven nationalities, and the majority of students spoke at least three languages," said Roberts.
One of the top reasons to choose this program is that the business world continues to be a dynamic and competitive place.
