MSM-IB Testimonials (Students)

Isabelle Bianca Sampaio: “Being a master’s student at UCF in the Integrated Business program has been an adventure, mainly because I’m in a career change to an area completely different from my undergrad. Having graduated in Law in Brazil, I challenged myself by joining a program focused exclusively on business and I can say the learning is vast, such as networking with highly qualified professionals, including professors and guest speakers; applying what we learn in projects with real companies; and, developing new skills such as, in my particular case, data analysis and business intelligence. I highly recommend the Master’s program in Integrated Business to anyone looking for a career change like me. It’s a game changer!”

Meghna Mewlani: “The MSM-IB program is an amazing path for people who do not have prior knowledge of business. I had 6 years of work experience prior to enrolling in this program, and yet there were multiple instances where I learned something completely new. Coming to the US for this program and adapting to a completely new country had its own challenges. However, all the professors are very supportive, and encouraging and guide you to do your best throughout the program. There were some courses that surprised most of us in ways that we had not expected. I gained a lot of knowledge, friendships, great connections, and an amazing mentor from this program. It’s true that everything happens very quickly and can be stressful, but in the end, it all seems worth the persistent efforts and sacrifices. Go IB!”

Albeit challenging and very intense at times, I have met many new people that have helped me achieve success using teamwork and diverse class material. Through projects and the flipped classroom style of instruction, I have been able to face adversity with a confident attitude.

Seher (Sissi) Tass: “My experience with the MSM-IB program has been very engaging and empowering. For my undergraduate degree, I studied Film and Women’s and Gender Studies, and after graduation I wanted a program to help shaping my professional career as an aspiring professional. The experienced faculty provided valuable guidance during class while the cohort worked on team-based projects to apply the extensive business skills obtained. I’m grateful for the support of my peers, faculty, and staff. I recommend the program to anyone with non-business degrees, seeking a hands-on business education. Go IB”
