From our students
“Thanks to the skills I developed from my coursework and the relationships I have established with my professors who have provided me with endless career advice, I landed a promotion at my company after only the first two semesters.
I have ascended into a position that allows me to have a stronger voice and to bring in a new perspective that encourages my organization to continue to be an innovative, flexible, and top leader in the regulatory sector. Without my MBA experience, I would not be where I am today.”
