“As a veteran, I pursued an MBA as a way to improve my business acumen and round out some of the gaps in my professional experience. UCLA Anderson’s diverse selection of electives provided the breadth of choice necessary to take a targeted approach to filling those gaps. I chose to pursue the finance and Entrepreneurship specializations, which provided sufficient depth in the areas I was targeting for development.”
