“When I made the decision to go back to school, I did so with a good idea of the courses and experiences I needed to achieve my career goals. Fletcher is a really good fit because its flexible curriculum allows me to pursue my goals. This was a large factor in my choice of Fletcher over other APSIA and MBA programs. I wanted to devote most of my time in graduate school to economics and finance coursework, which I am able to do at Fletcher because of its great course offerings in these fields and minimal core requirements. Fletcher also allows students to complete up to 25% of their coursework at other institutions, so I am able to take higher-level finance courses through cross-registration or a semester exchange with a partner business school.”
