My name is Anna, and I'm applying for the Masters of Business Administration program
at Clearwater University. I took an interest in your university's MBA program because of
the interactions I've had with professors in the department during my undergraduate studies here. After spending a few years working in professional settings, I decided I wanted to return to school to pursue an MBA and increase my abilities both in and out of the workplace. Throughout my academic career, I've taken an acute interest in the impact that businesses have on the environment. I pursued this topic in a variety of research projects throughout my undergraduate studies, including my senior thesis. I appreciate Clearwater University's commitments to the environment and I believe these values align with my research interests. After graduating, I worked with a few different environmental NGOs that focused on creating sustainable business practices. I hope to continue in this line of work after this MBA program with more knowledge about how to effectively manage and lead people. I have gained a variety of research, interpersonal and communication skills during my time working for these organizations. I believe these experiences have equipped me to enter the MBA program with a fresh perspective. Ultimately, my goal for this program is to develop my business acumen and apply the skills I learn to develop environmentally friendly business practices. In the long-term, I hope to continue to grow professionally and make a lasting impact on the structure, operations and best practices of business leadership. I believe this MBA program can equip me to pursue and accomplish these goals effectively. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, Anna Prescott
