Military Alumni
The San Diego MBA programs at the University of San Diego are proud to have so many alumni with strong military backgrounds. One of our most recent alums has this to say:
“The flexible and dedicated faculty and staff at USD made the Evening MBA a perfect transition from the military to corporate America. They worked with me individually to design a specific program that focused on my strengths and goals and also helped to push me in new directions. In today's globally integrated business world, it was also highly valuable to be involved in a program that confronted tough social issues and benefited from a strong internationally focused curriculum and faculty.”
