"I have the analytical background from the engineering world, and now the emotional intelligence and social intelligence from the Master's in Management & Organizational Leadership (MOL) program. I feel like I have become more open and candid when I present myself to people and it makes me feel better as a person to be able to pick up on a conversation and talk about things other than engineering."
Aaron Hardy '19
"The Smeal Master of Accounting is an amazing program geared towards helping its students succeed in the workforce once graduated. My favorite part is having all of my classes with the same people. We are able to build such a great community of people that are all working together towards the same goal."
Katie Wilbur '20
"I'm so excited I chose the Smeal Master's in Corporate Finance (MCF) program because from the day I had joined, I have had preparation for career fairs and resume reviews - not only with Smeal professors and staff, but with actual employers, which is a rare opportunity. Professors also tell us in class which topics are more relevant in industry, so I know what to say in the interview."
Somreeta Mukherjee '20
"The faculty in the Penn State Smeal Master of Science in Real Estate Analysis & Development (MS-READ) program are coming from prestigious schools. The quality of the education imbued by these professors puts Smeal right up there with top universities around the world."

"The opportunity to earn two Smeal master's and a certificate in supply chain management will be extremely valuable during my career search. I feel that I will have an advantage understanding both the numbers, and how other business processes work, instead of just having knowledge in one specific field."
