Personally Speaking

My favorite part of the MBA is how quickly it has paid off for me. After accepting an offer to work as a summer associate for an investment bank, I can already say it has been worth the price of admission.

Arguably one of the biggest benefits of the Professional MBA program is that the concepts you learn in class are immediately applicable to your career. Aside from coursework, some of the most profound learning moments will come from your cohort.
