My Goal: Brand Management
"I knew from the start that I wanted to be in the consumer product sector, but I didn’t know just what function I wanted to pursue. The core class in marketing piqued my interest. I realized how much my analytical skills could apply in that field, and that made up my mind."
"Being able to take elective courses in spring semester of my first year was really important because it gave me the opportunity to do some class projects. I was able to point to those in my internships interviews to show that I was serious and competent."
"What makes Haas different is that you get to create your own path – through classes, extracurricular activities and experiential learning. You can define your own idea of success. You are encouraged to follow your own dream."
