“My biggest takeaway from my business school experience is learning how to transfer my knowledge to real-life business scenarios. To learn about skills and approaches is not enough to be able to use those skills. My professors were determined to teach us about practical applications of our knowledge and how to efficiently communicate technical results in business terms.”
