Why did you choose McCourt? McCourt's program offered real analytical training, as opposed to a Master's degree full of theory. As someone who works in communications, I wanted a solid policy degree to allow me to better analyze and message our policy priorities.

What was the best part of your experience with McCourt? I took part in the summer course offered at Oxford University which was run in conjunction with the MBA program. I took cross-disciplinary courses and came away with a better grounding in finance and European politics.

Undergraduate university, degree, and major: Lafayette College, Political Science and International Affairs
