What do you think are the key factors in gaining the most from your time in the program?

In order to gain the most from my time in the program, it is key to go beyond the assigned work from the courses. Indeed, it is very important to create a close relationship with the professors and teaching assistants, as they are key individuals to expand your career development network. Moreover, the program itself as well as the Isenberg School of Management offer a variety of opportunities to prepare you for future job search and to expand your social professional network with outside companies and organizations. All of these are valuable factors that come with being in the MSBA program at UMass Amherst.

How do you plan to use your degree after graduation?

The MSBA degree will be especially useful after my graduation because it will open up more advanced career opportunities. I am confident that the technical skills learned throughout this program will be very useful in almost any business field.
