The classes feel like a family. This is ideal for founders, networkers, and future leaders
Since it is a fairly small university, the classes feel like a family. This is ideal for founders, networkers, and future leaders. And that applies not only internally, but also across the board. I have many good friends from other degree programs.
I've had so many wonderful moments so far. It's important to note that there are only about 30 students in the MIE program, so every activity feels like a family reunion. That really adds a lot to the whole experience.
