    "It's the 'executive' elements in the program that make it special - top-notch faculty, the ability to complete the degree in two years while working full time, and the executive talents of your classmates.'"

    - Mary Ann Brody
    Regional Marketing Director, Wendy's International, Inc.
    Executive MBA Class of 1997
    "I learned the value of working collaboratively in a small study group. As the manager of rocket production for my corporation I implemented the small group model where we exchanged ideas on how to streamline the production process. The results were spectacular. We saw a 30 percent reduction in the time span to build a rocket."

    "To me, what separates this program from other executive MBA programs is the quality of individuals that enroll. I learned a great deal from them and hopefully imparted a little of my own experience and knowledge to them. I believe I made friends for life."
