The quality is really high as all of the students are in the middle of their careers. Drawing on those experiences, I’ve learned a lot about what it’s like to work at other companies. I live in New York, and I have a family and a full-time job. That’s what innovation is all about. It really works. —BU Questrom Online MBA student
