Why have you decided to attend the USI EMBA program (what set USI apart from other programs that you considered)?

I have chosen to attend the USI EMBA program in order to plan my next career step and to satisfy my interests and curiosity related to Business and Administration.

How has the EMBA changed your perspective at work? How has it changed your career?

I feel that now I am approaching my job and life with a different perspective and EMBA has provided me tools that allow me to have a 360° view.

Yes – I would recommend this program to candidates that are looking for general tools needed to manage a company or simply to have a completely new view on what they are doing on a daily basis.
