Graduate Comments From The Survey

"I found our two week "in-residence" sessions of incredible value as we had face-to-face time with our classmates and the instructors. The international module in the 22 month program where we spent two weeks in China also enhanced our ability to understand international issues, strategy and finance."

***

"I believe the administrative staff and faculty strive to make this a great program. They are very proud of what they offer and are committed to making it even better. They solicited our feedback throughout the program and made changes when feasible."
