What influenced your decision to join this program?

An MBA was always a personal goal of mine. The Isenberg on-campus MBA program was perfect for me because it offers not only the opportunity to learn with and from a diverse cohort but also offers cutting-edge experiential training through the Isenberg MBA fellowships, as well as the robust collaborative team-based learning. I was also intrigued by the option to design my own concentration that would prepare me better for a career track in supply chain management and consultancy. I was also impressed that I could take classes in other departments across campus to broaden the scope of my training.

What advice would you give to a prospective student considering a graduate degree at Isenberg?

The quality of education is top-notch, coupled with very supportive staff and faculty who are already ready to help you achieve academic and career goals. Isenberg is also located in an area surrounded by impressive successful companies like Pelican and Yankee Candle which can be potential experiential learning spaces during the program.
