Why did you choose your major and MSOE? Are you happy with the decision?
I chose international business because business today is operating on a global scale. By being knowledgeable of foreign customs and cultures, I will be more successful in today's global economy. Choosing MSOE was a simple decision for me. I think their international business program is the best and I was especially attracted to the required one-year study abroad program at the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences in Lübeck, Germany.
What do you like best about the Rader School of Business at MSOE?
I like learning from professors who have superior academic credentials and actual business experience. With the small class sizes, I don't feel like just a number.

I am definitely looking forward to my year abroad. Immersion in European customs and culture and the opportunity to travel are ideal for me.
