What Current Students Say See All 15 Comments >

We have a very balanced approach to business that is all very practical. There is a reason behind everything we learn and the business core, while time-consuming, is comprehensive in all aspects of business. I don't really know how other business programs are run, but I imagine we have one of the best international studies and macro econ programs.
