When asked how the MSBA program prepared her for success in the business world, Meredith cites the diverse learning opportunities she had inside and outside the classroom.
"In addition to classroom learning, we participated in a year-long internship. I worked at St. John's College High School and the San Miguel School in Washington, DC, serving a role in their development departments. The internship provided the opportunity to interact with professionals and gain hands-on experience in a business setting. We also took part in a semester long Field Team Study. My experience working with Microsoft in Reston, VA allowed me to apply my classroom learning to an assignment that had real value to the technology industry. Both experiences brought to life the theories and practices discussed in class." - Meredith Kirsch, MSBA class of 2011
