Sheryl’s Answer

Public speaking is a core and highly transferable skill. Try joining t Toastmasters International. You will learn how to express your thoughts and ideas for various purposes as well as see and experience how public speaking fuels leadership ability. Toastmasters is a social and professional organization that is global, supportive and highly effective. Seek the out. I successfully transitioned from teaching to corporate training through my 7 years of active participation and completed the ATM-Bronze credential, led a club as president and became an Area Governor, where I oversaw several clubs. Join, it will be one of the best investments in yourself you will ever make!

Hi Laura. Picking a business school that's right for you is very important. When you start touring schools, make sure that the school is good fit for you academically and personally.

Here are the top Business schools for 2023 per US News: https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-business-schools/mba-rankings/.

I did my undergraduate degree at Howard University (57 on the list) and my master of science degree at The George Washington University (55 on the list). They worked for me because they were close to family, had great programs, I knew that I'd get a good-paying job after graduation and they were affordable (small or no student loans are the way to go if possible).

Good luck!

Actually, in your own state of MASS, there are great schools. Boston U, Univ of Mass for business. You should schedule an appointment with the school advisors and also tour the campus. In addition, the students may have a forum you can join and get answers to some of the programs. Now before you get into Law lets first get over the Public Speaking so you can minor in that subject while majoring in business.

Rebecca’s Answer

Thank you for your question. I am glad to hear that you are interested in business & law. On the other hand, developing your career in business may not require to do public speaking all the time.
Below are my suggestions:
1. Explore the college which have high ranking in both business & law. Find out the entry criteria.
2. Think about which subject you have more interest, ie law or business
You can consider to take law as your major and business as your minor or vice versa.
3.Attend the information session host by the college and talk to professors.
4. Attend public speaking classes to improve your skills
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
