What Current Students Say See All 15 Comments >

We are a "work hard, play hard" program. Although the classes and workload prove plenty challenging, the program truly values and serves the student experience with a plethora of social events. And I love that we're a community (the close-knit BBA Program) within a community (Emory University).
