STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
The best part of my Pitt Business experience was the relationships I made during my time as an MBA student at Katz. Many thanks to Dean Assad for enabling me to pursue my passions through the various electives, clubs, and workshops.
In combination with real-world experience, the Katz MBA program has built my skills in ethical leadership, teamwork, and strategic thinking, and provided both the foundation and the confidence necessary for handling complex business situations in the future.
