Faculty & Curriculum : Relevant Research
"I was impressed by how manageable every discipline was made. Professor Daniel Bens added humor to the insanely dry topic of accounting. Lisa Ordóñez clarified statistics into a decipherable and useful toolkit. Lance Erickson framed research in such a way that it became fun."
— Alexandra Meyn, MBA '06
