“The program and professor provided me with a deep understanding of the real-world application of finance to the deal-making process. This excellent program gives you a thorough understanding of essentials such as valuation and due diligence, but it also provides you with the fundamentals of integration, which is vital to understanding the M&A process and the impact it has on a business.”
