Both schools do such a good job of getting professors of practice who’ve actually done the job before. They really provide a perspective that you don’t get unless you’ve done the job.

Business Analytics, Finance and Television, Radio, and Film

I see the management major as a career maker. It gives you the ability to take your job and make it a career— how you are going to think about long-term organizational strategy, train and develop employees, and create a work culture to support your organizational skills.

Professor, Management

My favorite part was bridging the gap between analytics and strategy. It reminded me that numbers are only powerful when they help people make smarter decisions.

Business Analytics

Of the three schools I have attended, I feel most connected to Syracuse. Everyone I meet in class, during residencies or other programming events, is so motivated and excited to be there.

MBA

I love working on the back end of startups—seeing ideas go from concept to commercialization. And I’ve learned so much from SU alumni entrepreneurs. Their insights and support have been incredible.

Marketing, Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises

Professor Adam Fumarola didn’t directly help me land the internship, but he absolutely influenced my career interests. His class made me want to pursue real estate more seriously. He brought in speakers and created opportunities that showed how diverse and exciting the industry can be.

Finance and Real Estate

It gave me real-world experience, built on the many things I had learned in my Whitman classes, boosted my confidence and showed me that this is what I want to do.

Accounting and Business Analytics

With this internship, I am definitely leaning more into my Whitman finance side, and it feels like the perfect combo. I have a lot more to learn and explore, and I am excited to dive into another year at Syracuse.

Finance, Management and Public Relations

My supply chain professors have been amazing. They checked in on me during the internship search, celebrated when I got the offer and listened when I was deciding on opportunities.

Marketing Management, Supply Chain Management and Environment and Sustainable Policy

Working on my first big data analysis was one of the most rewarding moments. It was the first time I realized I was using what I learned at Whitman to help a real-world team. That was an ‘it all clicked’ moment for me.

Finance and Marketing Management

The people at Whitman have played a huge role in my journey, and the environment has been incredibly supportive, I believe this is what sets Whitman apart from other business schools.

Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises

The importance of business education, especially in marketing, is striking the right balance between introducing students to emerging trends and techniques and providing a theoretical foundation for systematic thinking as the market environment keeps changing.

Faculty

A lot of students in the MBA program are on a corporate path, but I like to create a pathway where no one has walked before...I want to build my own company to help everyone who is dealing with a diabetic loved one and then continue building startups that improve healthcare and create jobs.

MBA

Since being here, I can’t imagine attending any other school...“You are not the same person as when you first start at Whitman, and I’ve embraced that positive change.

Management, Information Management and Technology

“I push them as hard or harder than any professor in the building to get them through their Capstone course. So for them to transition through and then say, ‘Ken Walsleben made a difference’… well, that’s pretty magical to me.”

Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises

I can’t emphasize enough how helpful the Whitman Career Center and the Blackstone Launchpad have been with creating and growing Fight Like a Girl and helping me develop as a business leader.

Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises

As a sophomore, I am still early on in my college career and do not have experience in a corporate setting yet. Attending these visits and presentations provided me with valuable insights into the workings of international business operations and cross-cultural interactions. I am confident that this experience will serve as an asset, as I am able to offer a global perspective to any future role I work in.
