ALUMNI SAY
“Every first-year student at the University of Miami Herbert Business School completes a semester long project in the MGT 100 course where students play the role of a consulting firm and help a real-world business move a new product or service into a new market. Upperclassmen play the role of mentors in these projects, and having had the chance to play both the role of the student and the mentor, I can confidently say it is one of the most valuable experiences students have at MHBS.”
“I was a sector head in the Student Managed Investment Fund where I pitched equity investment opportunities and we entered into positions based on my teams recommendations. It gave me experience leading a team, analysis investment decisions and frequent opportunities to speak in front of a large group where we would present our findings/recommendations.”
“Phenomenal school, great professors, brilliant classmates. Catalyst environment for the spearheaded growth and development of young business students. The level of ambition evident in the students is motivating, and pushes you to achieve more academically/professionally.”
“The University of Miami played a crucial role in my personal development. The faculty, staff and curriculum taught me not only tactical skills, but equipped me with soft skills and business acumen that has been key in allowing me to thrive in my professional career.”
“The University of Miami Herbert Business School provided me with the tools I needed to succeed post-graduation. The faculty are exceptional, particular Mark Shapiro, who does a tremendous job running the school’s career development department. I could not have gotten to where I am today without Professor Shapiro, the rest of the MHBS faculty, and the incredible student body I had the chance to engage with.”
