"...this program has been a journey of transformative self-discovery."
"When I was considering a graduate program," she says, "I had looked at several M.B.A. programs in the Seattle area. There were two specific criteria I used to grade each program. First, it must pursue constant innovation and improvement in its business education. Second, it must combine theoretical training with practical business skills, thereby allowing students to keep abreast of current trends and to master every nuance of management."
Antioch's program "not only met these two criteria, but also added to them the strengths of creativity and flexibility.
"Through the Graduate Management Program, I did a personal excellence project. This project gave me the opportunity to pursue a topic of significance in my personal and professional life – exploring the question of strategic outsourcing in China. With this project, I was able to reconnect with the exciting development of my native country as well as provide a context for studying the benefits and risks of outsourcing to China.
"Going into the program, I expected I would become a better leader and mentor within my own organization. Surprisingly, this program has been a journey of transformative self-discovery."
