Why choose Wisconsin MBA?
I came to Wisconsin for my undergraduate degree and was living in Madison, so I was hoping to be able to come back as a double badger. I also knew that Wisconsin’s specializations are unique and could help me develop more specific skills necessary for my pivot into business. 

Advice:
The Wisconsin MBA program is a very supportive environment, and everyone is ready to help each other and challenge each other to succeed in their career and personal goals. Come to Wisconsin ready to step out of your comfort zone and take risks so you can truly develop throughout the program.

Fun fact:
I’ve lived in Wisconsin my whole life, but I am a die-hard Chicago Bears fan.
