“UCLA Anderson EMBA had the top two things I was looking for in a program — great reputation and a strong global network. Despite the distance between the UCLA campus and my home in Chile, I wasn’t going to let the travel get in the way of reaching my goals. Twenty-two months is a short time compared to the long impact you are able to make afterward.”

“One of the many reasons I chose UCLA’s EMBA program is its reputation for recruiting and graduating high-caliber executives. It’s been an incredible opportunity thus far to learn and collaborate with such diverse, brilliant leaders.”
