Early Advantage MBA Program |

Why did you choose to pursue a Rollins MBA?
Program director Jackie Brito called me within 30 minutes of my sending an interest email and that won me over. I liked the opportunities for students (the Career Management Center, the Leadership Center and the extracurricular activities) and the strong alumni network and reputation of the school. The full scholarship didn’t hurt either. |
