It's a necessity. I apply what I have learned every day, and it has made a wonderful difference in my strategic planning, analysis, and problem solving efforts. It is exhilarating to go to class to receive expert input from a top-notch faculty, while also learning about various business experiences from classmates during discussions. The knowledge gained from individual professors and fellow students is invaluable. As an EMBA graduate, I am better equipped to pursue our architectural business activities in Asia and other international markets with success.
Today there are many reasons to pursue an advanced business degree.
For me it was a stalled career. As an engineering management professional I lacked the knowledge of general business principles necessary to advance to higher levels of management. The EMBA program at SDSU has allowed me to overcome these obstacles. The cohort experience in the classroom as well as study groups was invaluable. I have developed relationships that will last a lifetime.
