“ I was looking for a business school with a strong curriculum in supply chain management, a place where faculty members are really involved and accessible to the students. Throughout the application process, I noticed a spirit of camaraderie among faculty and students. The students’ collaborative spirit and their engagement in the MBA experience in making sure that they get the most out of the program from academic and extracurricular standpoints confirmed that Wisconsin was the right place for me.”
