ANNE HENDERSON
Regional Marketing Manager - Johnson & Johnson

Why did you pursue an MBA after the military?

“An MBA was essential for my transition from the Army as I wanted to hone in on my business acumen and ground myself in analytics before beginning a full time role in a company.”

Why did you choose the Carnegie Mellon University MBA specifically?

“I pursued an MBA from Tepper because of it's focus on analytics and technology and Tepper's top ranked STEM program. I also valued Tepper's small class size as I wanted to form meaningful relationships with my peers and have a more intimate classroom setting.”

KELLER DURKIN
Manager - Deloitte Consulting LLP

Why did you pursue an MBA after the military?

“I wanted to find a way contextualize and calibrate my military experience to the new corporate environment I was entering after my time in the military. I understood that I had knowledge gaps that, if I could fill, would accelerate my post-military career trajectory.”

Why did you choose the Carnegie Mellon University MBA specifically?

“I applied to Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business because of the world-class reputation of both the business school and the university; I was confident that I would find excellence there and be challenged to reach my full potential. What made me choose to attend Tepper, however, was my visit to campus during Admitted Students Weekend where the staff, faculty, alumni, and my future classmates showed me that this was the right place for me to start my post-Army professional life. And my experiences both at Tepper and after graduation have shown me that this was the right choice for me, my career, and my family.”

NIYAGO FIELDS
Contract Manufacturing Project Manager - E&J Gallo Winery

Why did you pursue an MBA after the military?

“After speaking with several vets I served with who earned their MBA (and some networking), I realized earning an MBA would be my best option. I wanted to expand my professional network, take some time to learn about different industries, sharpen my analytical skills, and change my career trajectory. Transitioning from the military can be difficult for all ranks, especially when going into the private sector, and earning an MBA makes that transition a little easier.”

Why did you choose the Carnegie Mellon University MBA specifically?

“I evaluated several schools and ultimately chose Carnegie Mellon University. I wanted to attend a school with a strong brand, a quant-based curriculum, and a support structure in place to help me grow. I had nothing but positive interactions with alum, current students, and university staff throughout the application process and that made the decision much easier.”

DAVE MACEDONIA
Director of Strategic Marketing and Planning - Emerson

Why did you pursue an MBA after the military?

“While planning my career after separating from the military, I knew I would need to establish a strong foundation for my commercial skills to transition to the private sector. I felt that earning an MBA was a step I needed to take in order to apply the leadership and technical skills I developed in the Navy to leading a business.”

Why did you choose the Carnegie Mellon University MBA specifically?

“Tepper's strong core curriculum and focus on quantitative analytics and operations were elements I was looking for in an MBA program. The class size compared to other peer schools, about the size of the crew on my ship, was attractive and contributed to a strong tight-knit community.”
