Hear what our graduates are saying.

"I realized due to the Affordable Care Act being passed in 2010, health care and research were going to have to be managed differently. So I'm hoping now to not be just a part of the massive shift that's underway in health care, but to lead it.”
Andrea Klaver, Dual MBA-MGT
current student

"I was in a finance class...I was looking at the text book and my professor said, 'close the book, let's talk.' And I realized that a lot of what I needed to learn was not in a book. It is about people. That is what Walsh does. It made me better prepared for the business world by the way they taught.”
Shaniece Bennett, MBA '04
Owner, Accutrak Services

“My Walsh MBA experience has helped me to understand business in many more dimensions and assisted me in reaching out to find an extraordinary career opportunity.”
Tony Vitale, MBA '16
Enterprise Applications Manager at Plante Moran

"Having a larger network of resources allows you the opportunity to learn, share, and potentially find an opportunity that you are interested in pursuing at some point in your career.”
Thomas B. Lanni, Jr., MBA '05
Vice President of Oncology, Internal Medicine and Imaging at Beaumont Hospital
