Alumni Experiences

I came to Saint Mary’s because it’s both prestigious and personalized. There’s a very intimate feel with the small class sizes—a one-on-one experience is what you get when you come here.

I feel very comfortable approaching my professors and getting their guidance. I can also reach out to my advisor at any time and I know she will try to help me navigate through the program.

I chose Saint Mary’s College after seeing the advertising billboards on Bart during my daily commute. I loved that the school is local, has small class sizes, and is well-known for the accredited MBA program.

Having an MBA provides a great foundation for strategic decision making and responsible leading.
