Meet Your Student Success Coordinators
"For an online course, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of interaction with fellow classmates and professors. I expected the course to be predominantly self-taught with limited opportunity for debate and building one's network of contacts. This is certainly not the case, as each course has an element of collaborative work where students are assigned to groups and instructors are on hand to assist when required."
MBA '19 Candidate
"I am constantly amazed at how insightful and intelligent my classmates are in the class discussions, group assignments and Twitter feeds. I learn as much or more from them as I do from the professors and materials."
