  "Chapman University's Argyros School of Business MBA program provided me with the perfect balance of business theories, international perspectives, case studies, class discussions and team projects, all encompassed around my work and family life.  At work, I’ve applied practical leadership and operation management disciplines taught by my distinguished Chapman University Professors, which have resulted in two significant promotions during my time in the MBA program."
