Flex Student Spotlight “ The global focus and quantitative rigor of the McDonough MBA program were two things that really appealed to me when I considered applying. I wanted an MBA experience that would expand my business acumen while also providing a global perspective and strong analytical skills. Completing the Certificate in Consumer Analytics and Insights was especially valuable for me, and I now apply many of those analytical skills in my current role. Frequent discussions on current events and emerging technologies, especially AI, helped me stay ahead of the curve and better understand the macroeconomic environment. Overall, the rigorous coursework, cases, and hands-on projects prepared me to confidently take on new business challenges.”
