I came to this program knowing that I was ready for a change and my experience thus far has helped me think about how I want to craft my future path.” Arash Bayatmakou MBA ‘11	Michelle Peralta “The Academic Immersion trip to China has been the most compelling part of my USF experience. To have an inside view of global companies in China, Government bodies, as well as cultural explorations has excited and inspired me to learn more.
