These accomplished professionals have impressive professional backgrounds and offer their experience to help guide students of the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
I saw getting an MBA as a great opportunity to diversify my background, make me a more well-rounded individual and apply what I learn in my new role and future roles.
The faculty whose courses I have taken so far were great and the content we are learning is so relevant and applicable to the real world. I am currently taking accounting and we are reviewing the financials of actual companies which is very relevant to investing, which I do in my current role.
