STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
I chose Katz because they offer so many opportunities for so many different kinds of students. Between all of the events, networking opportunities, or personalized career advising, I knew that this grad school was the right fit for me.
It gave me a strong spirit of entrepreneurship. I couldn’t wait to get out and apply my business knowledge to start and grow a business. It created a level of excitement I carry with me today.
