After working several years in a dynamic financial services industry I quickly realized I needed to be just as dynamic. I wanted to gain an even greater competitive edge and further my overall management skills. In addition, I wanted to continue my self-development and receive a well-rounded, advanced education. An MBA from UB was just the edge I needed.

I’m a UB grad so naturally UB was top of mind for me. Ultimately it came down to UB’s excellent reputation, the tailored design of the PMBA program for working professionals, and the affordability of the program that attracted me back.

Data modeling is one of the textbooks I still keep within close reach. I also learned a lot from Professor Lindsey’s international marketing course—having the opportunity to meet with various companies overseas and learn about their practices and challenges firsthand was invaluable. It helped further enhance my understanding of the complexities of operating and marketing a business in a global economy.  

Don’t think twice about it! I’d highly recommend the PMBA program. It’s a great way to expand your horizons, offers networking opportunities, gain skills outside your immediate expertise and sharpen your existing skills.

I plan on staying in the financial services industry. Its complexity, combined with my MBA, will offer me a broad range of opportunities and challenges that will allow me the flexibility to move in different directions throughout my career.
