What Our Students Say

“I was looking for a career shift, and the University of Utah MBA program opened doors for me. Through the program, I was able to choose a career path that fit my professional goals. The most valuable asset I received through an MBA was the networking opportunities – in the classroom, through networking events, career fairs, and business visits. The caliber of individuals I have been honored to meet has set the foundation for post-graduation success.”

Karina Rivera, Full-Time MBA, Class of 2018

“This program has brought me so much joy, both in the knowledge I’ve acquired and the people I have met. I’ve learned the power of a good network and in building relationships with my cohort. It has been eye-opening and inspiring. Before I began the program, someone told me that an MBA teaches you how to think differently; I couldn’t agree more.”

Not only were the professors amazing, but we learned so much from all students in the class representing all sorts of industries.
