Integrating Classroom and Professional Experiences
Learning by doing is a hallmark of a Northeastern MBA. Students apply their knowledge to actual business challenges through experience-fueled electives and class projects. Students benefit from the experience of their faculty as finance experts and business leaders who understand today's challenges because they've experienced them firsthand.
Develop Deep Finance Expertise
