• Why did you choose to attend the Cox School?

School reputation and ranking were initial factors that helped me narrow down my choices. Further, unanimously excellent feedback from the alumni, class mix with around 10 years of experience and reviews on faculty made Cox my only choice.

• How has the Cox Executive MBA Program helped you to achieve your career goals?

Cox Executive MBA curriculum has helped me broaden my perspective. The discussions in the class bring forward a lot of different perspectives to approach an issue, many that I would have not even considered. The course is very well structured and applicable to practical managerial issues, with each course building on one another. I have no doubts that the skills I learn here, along with Cox's Reputation will help me take my career to the next level.

• What advice would you give to candidates considering the Cox Executive MBA Program?

I would highly recommend the Cox Executive MBA program. The combination of best in class faculty, class maturity and diversity of class experience make Cox one of the best Executive MBA programs in the country. Its high rankings acknowledge this fact in the corporate world. The kind of professional network you are able to build with this program is a unique opportunity that will yield benefits for years to come.

• Please add anything else that is unique to your Cox EMBA experience.

The mentoring program with an industry leader is a great experience that you are exposed to with this program. The facility and technology utilized in the program is also state-of-the-art. The video recordings of the lectures are an invaluable tool made available at Cox, which most Executive MBA programs have. I am able to go back at any time and listen to parts of the lecture on which I need more clarity or refresh the discussion that happened in class.
