Meet MSM Alumni
"I chose this program to combine the skills I got from my undergraduate degree in biology with some business knowledge. I am learning things about both business and myself through this program that will benefit me for my entire life."
Dennis Kostidis, MSM '19
Operations Manager at Buy-Rite Distributors
“The MSM program helped with my career search in so many ways. Not only did I develop the business and technology skills I needed to round out my liberal arts education, but the faculty and staff truly guided me in my search. Had I not had this support, I wouldn’t have the job I have now.”
Samantha Witkowski, MSM '19
Associate Consultant at Beghou Consulting
“The beautiful thing about the MSM Program is that it gives you a sound foundation for continuing into the business world. As a non-business major, the MSM is a way to open doors for your career, sharpen your skillsets, and stay relevant.”
Marielle Ogle, MSM ‘19
Project Coordinator, University of Chicago
