From Our Students

Thanks to the skills I developed from my course work and the relationships that 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. My organization sees that I have the desire to learn, transform, and improve myself and the organization as a whole. I have ascended into a position that allows for me to have a stronger voice and to bring a new perspective that encourages my organization to continue to be innovative, flexible, and a top leader in the regulatory sector. Without my MBA experience, I would not be where I am today.
