In the summer of 2008, Emma Rodgers went from interviewing women in rural Zambia about their everyday lives and cooking habits on a consulting project for the Wildlife Conservation Society to a summer internship with McKinsey & Company. The summer was exhausting, but exhilarating, and she found herself putting the consulting skills learned in African villages to good use in San Francisco's financial district.
"Haas made my transition from marketing into consulting possible. I really boosted my strategic-thinking and problem-solving skills here. The rigorous, fast-paced core courses gave me a strong foundation, and the broad range of electives really helped me drill down and strengthen my quantitative skills."
"I came to Haas with a strong marketing background. I crafted my electives to fill in the gaps that I'll need as a management consultant: Corporate Finance, Financial Information Analysis and Financial Modeling, for example."
"The Haas faculty is thought-provoking, accomplished and accessible. I remember how Professor Reza Moazzami's Innovations in Media and Telecommunications course really encouraged us to dig deeper, challenge assumptions and think strategically about the large and relevant challenges facing that industry."
