It speaks to the importance of choosing your career based on the impact of what your work can have on the world.” Bernie Murphy, MBA 12 “Confidence Without Attitude is about showing the depth of your experience through what you do, not just what you talk about.  My classmates have had such rich experiences in their careers and lives…when we work on team projects, it becomes easy to recognize each team member’s merit.” Marissa Chacko, MBA 12 “New core courses such as Problem Finding, Problem Solving and experiential courses such as Entrepreneurship drive you out of your comfort zone. They teach you different modes of thinking. They challenge you to think creatively and go deep to the root of real-world problems.” Jesse Tejeda, MBA 12 “Going back to school after being in the workplace shows you just how much you don’t know. It’s been a real privilege to be back in the classroom. It’s also a reminder of how important it is to keep on being curious, to be a Student Always.” Sameera Chilakapati, MBA 12 Program Overview | Culture
