“As an engineer who was deep into his field, the JD/MBA education was a great broadening of my skills, perspective and overall business knowledge. It enabled an immediate change in career direction upon graduation. I went from an engineer to a tax lawyer, and ultimately into finance. This would not have been possible without this valuable experience.”
