We have almost every industry and every discipline covered in our class, whereas some of the other programs I looked at were more biased in one discipline.

To work with a group of such diverse students was a very strong deciding factor for me.'

For example, in community development we do socially conscious venture capital investing, or work with community development venture capital funds. At the end of the day it's a private equity investment, and so to be able to connect with people who work in the mainstream private equity world and get a handle on how they think about things is great. Being able to mutually educate each other is important."
