Alumni Experiences

Having a diverse cohort has been beneficial because we ask different types of questions. The person who has a different professional background brings a different perspective and nuance into the classroom. There are times when I’ll hear something from one of my classmates and think ‘I never would have thought about it like that.

The days of exclusively doing business with someone locally are pretty much over. With technology moving as fast as it does, you have to Think Globally just to keep up. Because the world has gotten so much smaller, ethics has become even more important

The way Saint Mary's structures its program was the reason I enrolled. It gives room for you to do so much. It's a progressive pattern of courses that builds on the step before. Plus, the timing of the classes allows students to work full time while also going to school.

The Saint Mary’s MS Finance program offered a no-nonsense approach to giving me the knowledge I need to succeed. Plus it’s strategically located near San Francisco—you’re in the largest financial center on the West Coast.
