Poets&Quants’ Resident Expert, Judith Stockmon of The MBA Exchange

However, choosing the “right” specialized program and grad school can be difficult if not overwhelming. As these non-MBA programs attract a large and growing number of highly qualified applicants from around the world, the competition and qualifications for admission are more challenging than ever.
