Why choose Wisconsin MBA?
I chose the Full-time Wisconsin MBA Program because the marketing specialization was ranked among the top 5 in the nation. Furthermore, the Wisconsin School of Business has a reputation for cultivating leaders, and I knew after my MBA program that I’d feel adequately prepared and viewed as a trusted leader to tackle tomorrow’s challenges with confidence. Lastly, I was awarded a Consortium fellowship, which certainly helped sway my decision to choose UW-Madison on this gorgeous, lively campus.
