Webinar Overview

Getting an MBA is a big decision. Is an MBA really necessary? What are the benefits of attending a full-time MBA program, especially given the opportunity cost of 2 years without pay? Hear three alums from Harvard Business School, MIT, and Wharton share their experiences about how they decided to get an MBA and how they made the most of the experience.
