Why did you choose the Katz Graduate School of Business for your MBA?

The school also has an esteemed set of faculty who have proven to be accessible and understanding of each student’s individual strengths and opportunities for growth. This program has provided me with real-world learning opportunities, unlike any other educational program I have been a part of.
Meet Anna Rohac PMBA ’23
How has the Katz Graduate School of Business prepared you for greater success? This program prepared me for success because it has introduced to me to so many wonderful people. I was able to grow my circle of friends and my professional network here, so it’s really a win-win! On top of that, my time in the program gave me everything I was looking for in a graduate program. I was able to complete my degree while still working full time. As a part-time student, I was still able to study abroad and earn credit for it. My coursework allowed me to gain new skills and perspectives that I know will carry me into the future of my professional career for years to come.
Meet Denise Bergdolt (MS Supply Chain Management ’23)
In what way has Experience-Based Learning played a role in your education?
Experience-based learning played a tremendous role in my education here. Working with my team’s Six Sigma client and participating in case competitions within and outside of the supply chain field (Crane Case Competition, TCU Case Competition, Super Analytics Challenge) helped me gain insight into the issues organizations and the City of Pittsburgh are currently facing and knowledge to mitigate those challenges.
