  Luis Rivera MBA Healthcare Administration’06 CFO, NY Local Market, Aetna “Some people believe that what you learn in school you’ll never use in the real world, and all that you really get are a few letters after your name. My experience with Zicklin’s MBA in Healthcare Administration program has been the complete opposite. From the start, I was taking lessons learned in the classroom and translating them into practice at work. In addition to offering one of the few MBA programs that are healthcare specific, Zicklin provided a high-value education in a diverse, collegial environment, with the added bonus of a strong local alumni network. Upon graduating from this challenging and innovative program, I was better positioned for a greater management role. My Zicklin MBA gave me a broader understanding of the business of healthcare and prepared me to deal with new and future challenges in the ever-changing landscape of healthcare.” “Upon graduating from this challenging and innovative program, I was better positioned for a greater management role.” —Luis Rivera ’06

  Frank Tanki Executive MBA’04 Executive Vice President of Brand Marketing and Creative, SPIKE (a Viacom Media Network) “While I’ve always believed in my instincts and the value of my business experiences and undergraduate education, I pursued an MBA in order to obtain a deeper knowledge— something to help round out the business “base” that I had developed. I wanted a focused executive program that would provide a ton of both deeper learning and interactions with other executives with varied expe- riences, within a structure that would mesh with my fairly intense work life. Zicklin delivered on all fronts. One of the great things about Zicklin is that so many of its students have terrific business instincts and a unique combination of savvy and hustle honed by living and/or working in NYC. The student caliber, instructors’ real-world experience, and course content combined to provide a thorough, energetic, and highly valuable experi- ence. I find I frequently apply the knowledge I gained to help me frame my day-to-day management decisions and manage my career path.” “I wanted a focused executive program that would provide a ton of both deeper learning and interactions with other executives with varied experiences, within a structure that would mesh with my fairly intense work life.

  Braeden Rogers MBA ’09 AccountExecutive, Centro “Earning an MBA in Marketing in Zicklin’s Full-Time program gave me the tools to change my professional life as I sought to transition from a career in banking into marketing/advertising. The program improved my ability to think through complex issues and solve tough problems, enhanced my understanding of business principles, and prepared me for the real-life challenges of collaborating with co-workers on import- ant projects. Upon gradua- tion, I felt empowered and ready to lead. I was initially attracted by the program’s cohort struc- ture, highly relevant courses, and NYC location, as well as the active alumni base and the support provided by Baruch for post-graduation job opportunities. But I was surprised by the rich oppor- tunities for learning that ex- isted outside the classroom. Whether it’s participating in business competitions, getting involved in clubs, providing consulting to small businesses, or just learning from and forming lasting friendships with fellow classmates, these things all make the Zicklin experience special.” “Earning an MBA gave me the tools to change my professional life. Upon graduation, I felt empowered and ready to lead.” —Braeden Rogers ’09

  The Zicklin ExecutiveMBA is designed to meet the needs of high-potential professionals and business leaders who are ready to take their organiza- tions and their personal careers to the next level. There is no better value in EMBA programs in the New York City area, and our cohorts of experienced professionals, highly ranked faculty, and cutting-edge curriculum reflect that. Our program is designed to allow you to come to Baruch to focus on learning while continuing to work full-time and manage your demanding career. The Zicklin EMBA program begins with Boot Camp, a 3-week series of modules in finance, statistics, and accounting to ease you back into the classroom and help you brush up on basic quantitative skills. Orientation weekend is held at an offsite conference center and includes academic programming, career management, and team-building activities to help you get to know your cohort. The EMBA program runs on a trimester basis, from September through June. Classes are on Saturdays, from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, with an occasional Friday class session. The EMBA program is a 57-credit MBA program, with all students on the general business administration track. The Academic Director carefully designs the cur- riculum with experienced professionals in mind, and only the most highly rated faculty at Baruch College are invited to teach in the EMBA program. A highlight of the EMBA program curriculum is the international study tour, which usually takes place in year 2 of the program. You will travel with a faculty member to two different non-US locations for 8-10 days and meet with compa- nies and organizations in each location. Program graduates consistently report the trip to be an illuminating experience that enhances their international busi- ness perspective and understanding of the impacts of the rapidly globalizing world and business environment. Is this program for you? We look for candidates that have at least 5 years of professional or managerial experience and hold a bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent. Candidates will excel if they understand the rigors of executive education while continuing to balance their careers and personal lives.

  Cassie Abrams MBA ’10 Co-Founder RelishFood Project “My life is in New York City, so when I was deciding on business schools, loca- tion was crucial. Zicklin’s Full-Time MBA program offered a solid education in the city’s business center while also providing good value—I didn’t want heavy postgraduate debt limiting my career decisions. My objective was to obtain the broad business expo- sure that an MBA offers. Upon graduation, I felt con- fident that I was returning to the business world with a robust foundation that would enable me to take my career to the next level. The program also connect- ed me with a supportive network of motivated, like-minded peers: all of my closest Zicklin friends are, like me, active in the startup world. I was impressed by the strength of Zicklin’s entrepreneurship program. Although I didn’t focus on starting my own business when I was in school, the Entrepreneurship Center has been a great resource for me since launching my company.” “The Entrepreneurship Center has been a great resource for me since launching my company.” —Cassie Abrams ’10
