What appealed to you about the M.S. in Commerce Program?

I applied to the M.S. in Commerce Program because I enjoyed its unique structure. The use of teamwork and case-based discussions helps prepare students for the corporate world and ensures that we leave McIntire workplace-ready. Further, the culture of the program is extremely welcoming and supportive, with resources such as professors who are knowledgeable and encouraging, career services that offer guidance on everything from resumes to job interviews, and classmates who turn our program cohort into a tight-knit community. The McInitre experience is unlike any other, mixing top-of-the-line education with a positive social environment.

What are you looking forward to or have you enjoyed most so far in the M.S. in Commerce Program?

I am most looking forward to the GIE experience. I am excited to see class concepts come to life in real-world scenarios through GIE company visits, while also having the opportunity to immerse myself in various different cultures and systems.
