THE STRATEGY FIELD STUDY

OPPORTUNITIES TO CUSTOMIZE

“ The Strategy Field Study (601) was one of the most challenging aspects of the program.

It’s one thing to learn about something in a classroom, but the 601 pushed us to question and apply those same concepts in a real-world setting. Through the 601 I not only gained valuable experience, but also built strong relationships that I know will last throughout my career.”
