Meet Anna Rohac PMBA ’23
Why did you choose the Katz Graduate School of Business for your MBA?
I chose this program because I needed the flexibility that the part-time MBA program provided. It’s amazing to be able to get a part-time degree like that at an institution that’s as impressive and groundbreaking as Pitt.
In what way has Experience-Based Learning played a role in your education?
I was able to participate in the Global Research Practicum in Latin America. For a week straight, my classmates and I got to experience life in Buenos Aires and meet with ten companies to learn more about the economy in Argentina and how to conduct business there. That experience taught me so much more than any textbook ever could!
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.
