Why choose Wisconsin MBA?
Many factors came together. Quality and reputation of the program are strong, with the university overall touting an impressive number of executive alumni. Additionally, a hybrid approach made practical sense with work and family commitments, especially with a son in elementary school. The program strikes the right balance.
Advice:
Make the most of opportunities to visit the campus and School of Business, particularly if you’re new to Madison. The city provides a remarkable setting for a university experience. Give yourself enough time to build your application, avoiding deadline pressure. Pursuing graduate studies alongside professional work offers a meaningful learning experience, allowing you to draw connections between theory and practice and immediately apply your learnings to your work.
