So much of the work focuses on real-life experiences. You work on projects with area businesses. That helps you know what to expect in your everyday work life.

I'm not interested in spending 16 months reading a textbook. I want to use what I’m learning. Getting practical experience is really important for what I want to do with my career. That's why I chose FSC.

FSC's MBA sharpened my managerial skills. Getting a group of smart, strong-minded people to work as a team, knowing when to let others lead, knowing how to get everybody's ideas heard—that has helped me so much in my career.

I've been to Asia on business many times, but traveling to Vietnam and Hong Kong as part of the MBA's international field experience—having those interactions with the other students and the professor — was a fantastic opportunity.

I thought FSC's international experience would be a great resume builder. I never thought I’d be working on a project where the same international issues I studied would be playing out in front of me.
