Our students often learn as much from the experience and knowledge of their team mates as they do from the professors.
“My intention going into the MBA program was to get a better understanding of who
I was and how I was going to be in the world...I questioned everything about myself; it felt like being deconstructed.
Throughout the program,
I set out to rebuild myself with my own values, not the values of my parents, my workplace
or society. That gave me con dence as a leader, knowing I could run my business in line with my values and bring
my authentic self to work.”
Jivi Khehra
2008 MBA, Business Administration
There are no 500-student classes at our university. Learning occurs in small teams that support each other throughout the educational experience. In supporting each other’s success, strong bonds and friendships that endure are created.
At the graduate level, our students have already experienced considerable success, which helps inform the learning
process. Our professors–sometimes referred to as scholarship practitioners–infuse their teaching with their real-world experience. The result is an education grounded in the practical and the development of a robust network that supports learning beyond graduation. The interplay between personal growth and professional success results in an enduring, life-changing experience.
OUR STRENGTH
As a university our strength is evident where it matters most. We continue to receive consistently high marks from those who know us best. Our students and our expanding group of worldwide alumni strongly endorse the quality of programming, the bene ts of collaborative learning and the opportunity to put knowledge into action. Alumni are our most powerful advocates, a fact that speaks to our strength.
No matter the program, no matter the eld of research, the common characteristic displayed by our faculty, researchers, students and professional staff is leadership.
It is a form of leadership that is grounded in our history.
A proud military history that extends back to 1940 through
the teaching and training of cadets who have, through successive generations, led through service to our country.
It is leadership that is deeply invested with values and ethic. It is leadership that is about moving forward and reaching out.
