“The Bauer Mini-MBA program was a fantastic experience. The program provides a condensed overview of business subjects related to current MBA courses relevant to today's markets. The program materials, at a high level, expanded my knowledge and introduced me to new ways to look at day-to-day business activities. I gained an appreciation for many other aspects of business (from accounting to marketing to management information systems, and much more) and departments that I may interact with very little or randomly at my current job. The Mini-MBA program is a great introduction and provides insight to a full MBA program if anyone is interested in pursuing further education in a MBA or any related subject matters.”
