What Recent Grads Say See All 11 Comments >

-I would recommend the Katz MBA to friends or colleagues due to the many things I got beyond the classroom education including networking and learning the importance of interdependence and teamwork. Many of the professors have industry experience or were previous executives. Everyone was helpful and truly cared about making it a positive experience.
