MBA Success
"I was impressed by the caliber of professors, the rigor of the curriculum, and the overall positive experience I had in the program. I specialized in International Business, and I was especially appreciative to conduct my required internship in Germany. CSUSM’s SAMBA program delivered this in full with its range of guest speakers, events, internship opportunities, and more. If you want to expand your network, develop a strong business acumen, and increase your competitiveness in the workforce, then this program is for you."
