-The Accelerated MBA program at SCU caters to students that work full time. We had a great mix of students in my cohort that came from various industries. The relationships I have form with my peers was invaluable. The study abroad trip was an amazing experience. I learned a great deal about how an emerging country works to uplift their economy.
