My Goal: Consulting
"Accounting classes are great for consultants because they give you a lot of the theories that you will use every day on the job."
"My independent study courses were the most valuable thing I did at Haas. The process is simple and the professors are super supportive. I maxed out on independent study because I enjoyed it so much and learned even more."
"The elective system gives you the space to explore. I took classes as different as Power & Politics and Creativity & Innovation in Marketing with Jennifer Aaker. That class really shifted the bar to a completely new place for me."
