“Being in this class with lots of people from other parts of the world was a big opportunity for me. I enjoyed this program and the discussions we had so very much that now I am sad that the program is over. I will always remember my days in this class and feel lucky to have had a chance to be in a program like this. It is challenging and great" - Eda Cosar, Spring 2009

Student Commitment: The Business Case Program entails a very heavy workload including a heavy amount of reading outside of class, which, therefore, constitutes a full-time commitment for most students. “This program makes you organized. You can learn a lot and approach things in so many ways that you have never noticed before. Hard Work, Big Reward!" Elisa Guadiana-Chong, Spring 2009
