Executive MBA | Smith School (2024)

"I was making a transition from clinical medicine to leadership, and this program has changed the way I approach problem solving and given me opportunities to advance my career in healthcare. I’ve been amazed -- I use skills I gained in the program every single day, from ethics issues to global supply chain issues to employee satisfaction and negotiation skills."

"I wanted professors who were in tune with real-world needs and applications. The professors were always open to taking time to talk, not just in class but outside of class. I still email professors now if I have a question. The program put all the pieces together in a way that was really an eye-opener for me."

"One of the most helpful aspects was the commitment to growing students’ leadership skills and capacity. Executive coaching was immensely helpful for me as I was exploring career growth and leadership opportunities. The sense of camaraderie, faculty support, and learning environment were worth the time and investment."

"The EMBA program taught me a lot about being a global business leader but more importantly, taught me a lot about myself. I have used the lessons learned in the program to be a better leader, father, husband, and human being. There was much more value to this program than just business and economics. I use what I learned every day."

"My cohort introduced me to a world of intriguing and thought-provoking perspectives. They challenged me to reconsider what I initially believed to be differences among us, and I realized that those perceived differences were aspects of the human experience that were just as true as my own."
