"The intimate classes provided me with the opportunity to learn, ask questions and be part of smaller conversations that were all relevant to my studies. Having professors that came from corporate America also helped—their 'real' experiences provided better dialogue in the classrooms. It was more than writing a paper or taking a test, it was a discussion, and for me, that’s how I learn best."
