STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
The main reason to choose Katz was because it offers a wide variety of courses. Coming from a different country (Mumbai, India) and education system, I was a little anxious, but the staff, faculty and students have been extremely welcoming and kind.
I chose Katz because they offer so many opportunities for so many different kinds of students. The staff, faculty and professors are extremely welcoming and conductive to a great learning environment. Between all of the events, networking opportunities, or personalized career advising, I knew that this grad school was the right fit for me.
