Graduate Comments From The Survey

"I am a 51-year old seasoned executive. The EMBA program -- at Rutgers -- has been one of the most rewarding and useful experiences of my business career. Too bad I did not take it 20-years ago!"

***

"Overall this was one of the best experiences of my life. The trip to China as fantastic. The administration is well organized and the program directors have done a superb job. Bottom line, this program addresses real world issues and changes on the fly to adjust to what is currently going on in the world."

***

"The program gave me not only the skill set to compete with colleagues in my industry, but also gave me the confidence to interact at very high levels having a better understanding of the issues that senior executives are facing. Additionally, I have been able to parlay my skills/knowledge to provide value-added solutions for my firm and my clients."
