ADDITIONAL SCHOOL COMMENTS
Regarding the Career Information section, please note that the program has purposely chosen not to report the number of companies that recruited at the Isenberg School of Management in order to be consistent with the standards set by the MBA Career Services Council. Regarding the Financial Aid section, please note that total financial aid packages cover a rather large range, since tuition and fees costs (the value of assistantships) varies with residency.
