Kedar Kurpad
“I have been looking for a way to leverage my professional skills to address some of the world’s biggest challenges today, especially regarding climate change, decarbonization, digital privacy and transparency. The GBA’s interdisciplinary and international focus allowed me to investigate these different subject areas while also developing core competencies in the professional arena.”
Tim Chang
“I reached a point in my career where I wanted to go back to school to get my MBA, and I thought of going back to school full time, but the opportunity cost felt too high. The GBA program caught my attention because the global nature of the program and courses were going to provide me with a unique global perspective and I could get my degree in two years while still working full time.”
