Building Success, One Experience at a Time
For Anna Rohac, choosing an MBA meant finding a program that truly fit her life—and she found that balance at the Katz Graduate School of Business.
“I needed flexibility,” she shared. “It’s amazing to earn a part-time degree from an institution as impressive as Pitt.”
Katz’s focus on Experience-Based Learning was a highlight, especially her Global Research Practicum in Buenos Aires. “We met with ten companies, explored Argentina’s economy, and learned how to do business in a completely different environment. It taught me more than any textbook ever could.”
Anna also gained meaningful connections. “I’ve expanded my circle of friends and built a lifelong professional network. It’s a win-win.”
“I gained new skills, studied abroad, and finished my degree while working full-time. This program gave me everything I was looking for—and more.”
Anna’s story shows that with the right program, balancing work, education, and life isn’t just possible—it’s transformative.
