MBA Graduate Student Home Country: Germany As a graduate student, Catharina Salzmann has made the most of the opportunities available at JWU. She holds the position of office assistant for the Graduate Admissions Office and ran a peer mentoring initiative to provide support and resources for ESL students. She also interned for SeaAhead in the area of startup incubation. She enjoys taking workshops through JWU’s Graduate Student Association, including one on emotional intelligence. “Those extracurricular experiences were a great opportunity to expand my horizon and develop important leadership skills,” says Salzmann.
JOHNSON & WALES UNIVERSITY
Why Catharina Chose JWU for her Graduate Education “As soon as I was accepted, the graduate admissions team offered to put me in contact with a German student already enrolled at JWU. She answered all of my questions and helped me start my journey to JWU before I left my home. We still talk and meet regularly. I couldn’t believe how smooth my transition to JWU was.”

You can choose from fall, spring or summer semesters. We’ll ensure appropriate academic placement, help you transfer the maximum number of applicable credits and minimize repeat courses. ACCELERATED MASTER’S PROGRAM SAVES TIME AND MONEY.

You will be able to earn your bachelor’s and master’s degrees in less time. You will also save tuition money by taking up to three graduate-level courses at no additional cost during your senior year as an undergraduate student.
