"The EMBA staff facilitates the studying experience both during and outside of class. They organize all of the necessary elements so that both the professors and students can focus on the objective of learning. From the first day of the Residence Sessions to the last day in class, the staff accommodates all wishes and requirements that the students may have. They are fantastic at what they do."
Eoghan O’Leary, Class of 2007
