TESTIMONIALS FROM MiM STUDENTS

NORTHWESTERN KELLOGG SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT: “I attended Northwestern for my undergraduate degree, and like many liberal arts universities, did not have the access to a formal business curriculum (aside from a business minor) despite my interest in the field – most of what I knew was either self-taught or learned through experiences I was lucky to have through internships. However, I knew I wanted to have a more formal understanding of business before I started what I knew would be a long career in finance.

“I was drawn to this program for not only the formal business curriculum it offered, but the distinguished professors that teach within it and also the opportunity the program offered to learn alongside of Kellogg’s part-time MBA students within the classroom, which was a really fruitful experience and added such an elevated learning opportunity hearing from their real-life work experiences and challenges.

“Though I just graduated from the program, I was fortunate enough to apply to Kellogg’s Future Leaders deferred admissions program as well – so I look forward to returning back to Kellogg for my MBA in a five years or so. To me, the chance to work for a few years with the added value of my Masters in management will allow me to gain some fruitful real-life experience to bring back to the classroom and approach an MBA with a completely different lens. I know I’ll be able to really lean into the Kellogg network as I progress in my career.” – Ethan Rosen, MiM ’23

MIT SLOAN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT: “MSMS gave me an opportunity to explore different potential career paths through connections with industry experts, action learning labs, lectures, and seminars, which allowed me to discover my passion for analytics, technology, and mission-driven work. I will move on to become a Sr. Product Manager at Amazon post-graduation where I will be able to leverage my passions and skills to improve customers’ lives, and I wish to continue to embrace these values along my career journey to create a positive impact in the world.” – Jacquelyn Li, MSMS ’22

MICHIGAN ROSS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS: “I finished up undergrad and felt a bit like a construction worker who went to the job site with his blueprint but left his tools at home. I knew what it was I wanted to do; I just didn’t know exactly how to do that. And I didn’t feel like I had the hard skills to be able to jump into an organization and make things happen.” – Cooper Wrona, MiM ’21

VIRGINIA McINTIRE SCHOOL OF COMMERCE: “What initially piqued my interest in the M.S. in Commerce Program was that it was a 4+1 program, meaning I could have my master’s degree after one year. It became more appealing to me, as it allowed me to be on a track that I was genuinely interested in–Marketing & Management – and had the study-abroad component that I missed out on during my undergrad years.” – Bree Doby, M.S. in Commerce ’23

DUKE FUQUA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS: “Prior to completing my undergraduate degree, I felt that I wasn’t ready to work in my preferred career, project management. The MMS program course offerings as well as the potential job outlooks post-graduation definitely aligned with my career goals at the time. I also love to grow my professional network so naturally, Fuqua was also a great fit due to the large alumni network around the globe. At the end of the day, being a part of a prestigious program with people who have similar professional goals as myself is most important to me.” – Muhib Bari, Foundations of Business ’23

SOUTH CAROLINA MOORE: “Upon finishing my undergraduate degree, I knew that I still needed to sharpen my skills and enrich my experiences to be more successful in the international workforce. I wanted to attend a highly ranked program at a prestigious school for international business to help me deepen my understanding and surround myself with many talented, ambitious, like-minded classmates. I was very excited and eager to participate in the Moore School MIB courses that are not usually offered in other graduate programs. The MIB program is designed to improve the interdisciplinary knowledge about the global market, and that was exactly what I needed to advance my career.” – Sunnie Duong, Master of International Business ’20
