"At the University of Illinois, professors in the MSBA program are exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure that every student, regardless of their background, grasps the material to the fullest extent possible within the constraints of time. It's not only challenging for us as students, but also for our professors to bridge the gap between those with technical backgrounds and those without. Yet, they do so with dedication and skill, ensuring that everyone progresses at a comparable pace."
Devina Chhajer, MSBA '24
"Professors are amazing. Every single professor I've had was truly passionate about what they were doing and actually wanted to see the students succeed. So, I truly appreciate that. And I'm grateful for that because I've learned a lot from these people."
