What Current Students Say See All 14 Comments >

I chose Kenan-Flagler not only because of its reputation and incredible professors, but because of its focus on preparing its students for life after graduation. A critical component of Kenan-Flagler for me is that it emphasizes not only learning the theories and practices of a function, but also learning how to apply them in practice.
