Argyros Student Offers Advice for Classmates
Chapman University’s Argyros School of Business student Jonathan David Chandler offers advice to fellow students after completing his first year of business school. Chandler offers this advice as an MBA student who does not have a business background. Chandler writes:
“With a bachelors degree in communications, I have limited experience with business. My first semester at Chapman, I enrolled in accounting and economics, both being firsts for me. I was nervous on my first day in each of those classes. I thought to myself, how will I do? Will these classes be hard? Can I pass while working full time?”
Chapman explains that these questions are only a few of many he had before starting his first day of classes. Learning how to balance his professional life with his student life was a challenge but Chapman was able to succeed.
