During the first year of their Texas MBA program, students engage in co-curricular programs, services, and leadership roles that are designed primarily to develop their skills. These activities are meant to introduce students to a wide variety of topics, help them hone in on their own strengths and weaknesses, and provide them with a foundation from which they can further their leadership development into their second year.

Second year students should spend time in reflection activities, have access to more robust leadership assessments, and have the opportunity to put their skills into action. This course is designed to provide a structured format for the...

...required: The Personal Statement and the Study/Research Proposal. These essays serve very different but complementary purposes. Unless noted, the following information comes straight from the Fulbright Web site. THE PERSONAL STATEMENT (1 Page) The following information is applicable to both Study/Research and ETA applicants: The Personal Statement should be a narrative giving a picture of you as an individual. Remember, applicants are not interviewed on the national level. The Personal Statement is your opportunity to “talk” about yourself and to tell the committee more about how you came to this point in your life and where you see yourself in the future. There is no single “right way” to approach the Statement; rather candidates will consider what they think is important for people reviewing the application to know about them. The Statement can deal with your personal history, family background, influences on your intellectual development, the educational and cultural opportunities (or lack of them) to which you have been exposed, and the ways in which these experiences have affected you. Also, you may include your special interests and abilities, career plans, and life goals, etc. It should not be a recording of facts already listed on the application or an elaboration of your Statement of Grant Purpose. It is more of an autobiography, and specifically related to you and your aspirations. Adhere to the following format: • Statement length is limited...
