"The small class size, genuine interest the administration takes in the MBA students, and the connections I've made with my classmates are reasons that attending Penn State has been one of the best decisions I've made in my life."

Gregory Keel
2016 Penn State Smeal MBA Graduate and Recipient of the
Bunton-Waller Fellowship
