student Testimonials
Here is what some of our students have to say about the program:
"The GET experience was the cornerstone of my graduate studies at Temple. While the consulting class helped in developing several skill sets (writing, presentation capabilities, etc.), the largest single benefit I have gained is the training in conceptual thinking. I feel much better prepared to identify the fundamental issues of a business problem, define them clearly and outline the possible solutions - without getting bogged down in ancillary issues that can prevent a business challenge from being solved. I directly relate my GET experience in strategic consulting as a major factor in my enhanced analytical capabilities."

"After going back to work I’ve realized the importance of the GET structure. It gives you the ability to think strategically, a chance to apply what you’ve learned in the other courses, a lasting capability to managing work time and team working."
- IMBA, Class of 2001
"The program gave me much more than just knowledge on a particular sector of industry and the soft skills that I learned while working on GET are now very much used in my day to day tasks. Among these soft skills, I learned to work under pressure, to deliver high standards of quality on time and to manage various characters and competencies within the same team."

"I found the GET project to be the best part of the IMBA program for several reasons, most important to me was that it was a "live" project that also became the focus of some of the other classes that semester. After leaving a full time job to attend the IMBA program, by the time GET rolled around, I was ready to go back to work, and the GET project really helped me to get my mind focused back in the real world and out of the"education"mind set. While I did not go into consulting after graduation, I find myself using the tools that I learned in GET quite often in my supply chain management career."
- IMBA, Class of 2002
“My experience with the GET project has helped me improve my abilities - information collection and digestion, logically analysis, quick responses, and critical reasoning to name a few. These valuable lessons can only be picked up through practical experience that was available to Temple students. I would like to thank you for your impressive education and valuable encouragement.”
- MBA, Class of 2005
"We really appreciated your consulting course. It was an insane amount of work and I know it places great demands on your time as well, but it really is the real capstone class of the MBA program. I haven't had any other course that pulls together so many pieces like the practicum does."
