Representative comments from students and alumni on what's best about this MBA program

The high-engagement case method forces you to not only think about business ideas in new ways, but to also structure ideas in a format that is consumable for others. That idea of helping others understand has been very valuable.

The academic experience—intense case discussions with brilliant, diverse, yet humble students, facilitated by phenomenally talented faculty.

The case method—learning from and with such talented, intelligent, and passionate individuals while constantly honing my communication skills.

I think the case method and the not allowing people to place out of classes really enriched the experience and helped build the network among peers.

The small community and class size led to an enormous amount of connectivity and growth not possible at a place like HBS.
