student opinions
"What separates the MMB program from other PSM programs and your typical master’s of science are the Industry Cases and the large industry network. The direct industry ties and work skills that extend from these studies will give us a competitive advantage on the job market.”
— Jason Wilson
"The MMB program gives us a unique perspective on the biotech or pharmaceutical industry that we could never gain in another program. With the program, I have the chance to work for a company for a month or two to understand what they do and then move on to another company."
— Benjamin Davis
"We usually are required to work in teams for our industry cases class. Working in groups has encouraged me to be organized, communicative, and responsible, plus it taught me how to work cooperatively with
others on a project."
— Rosanne Smith
"We're perpetually on our toes with Industry Cases in the MMB program: due dates change, assignments are altered, there are constant dealings with 'ambiguity management,' as well as difficult questions from industry executives. Business goals also 'change on a dime,' and with them employees must adjust to new work and different requirements. However, thanks to the MMB program, dealing with changes is something that can be learned, and perfected."
— Matt Miller
"The MMB program is special because it gives me a well-rounded education through classes in business, biotechnology, and microbiology. The program has provided me the opportunity to gain exposure to various companies throughout the area. It has also given me contacts in these different companies that will prove beneficial when job hunting."
