An education for
the real world.
While our curriculum moves quickly, the workload is
comparable to a full-time job. Class sizes are small to
encourage participation, discussion, and direct feedback
from instructors.
What separates our program from other MBAs is an
emphasis on applied learning. This means youll spend more
time discussing real-world problems and developing your
communication skills. Youll also be exposed to a wide range
of progressive and innovative organizations.
