Small class sizes mean that our faculty know their students really well. Attesting to the importance of international education, 60% of our students study abroad prior to graduation. Our students tend to do extremely well in business, and many of them come back to the business school to serve in a variety of roles as well as providing financial and other resources that provide opportunities to our students.
