The MBA Program enables students to develop a portfolio of practical, resume building experiences while they’re still in school. What they can do with that is really demonstrate that they know what business is about and they know how to manage and lead projects. I think one of the things that we’ve worked very diligently toward is to build a curriculum that provides students with real world experience so that they’re able to that the skills that they’re earning in the classroom, learning in the classroom and carry those immediately into the workforce.

Or many students go off and start their own business because they got the confidence of the skills that they’ve gained. If you want your MBA, I can just tell you- Kaplan [University] is your first choice, it is. The structure of th
