Why I chose Wisconsin:
The old saying the broader the base the taller the tower applies nicely, I think. I wanted to further my career in marketing research. I wanted and needed an MBA to get ahead but also wanted and needed a graduate-level education in my chosen field. These two paths seemed opposed, until I found Wisconsin. Once I came and visited the campus and met the people, I knew that this was the right place for me. I know it sounds cliché but Wisconsin really is the perfect union of a top-notch, rigorous MBA combined with a deep specialization, all within a truly collaborative environment.
The Wisconsin Culture:
The culture here is everything. Yes, I have heard those words at nearly every company I have ever worked for and school I have ever visited, but here it is the soul of what makes Wisconsin so outstanding. Wisconsin is a place for collaborative people, a family-esque atmosphere. I really love that. In many programs there seems to be a zero-sum approach to learning. But here at Wisconsin there is a strong and overriding feeling that we all can go farther if we pull together. That collaborative ethos is woven into everything that we do, and are taught.
