One of the things about the MSBA program that I like is the diversity of some of the faculty on campus. To be tongue-in-cheek, they are not simply lecturers and experts in their field hired right out of college. Many of these professors have real-world experience under their belts. They have worked in the private sector and public sector. Some have worked for oil companies, others for consultant firms, electronics companies, even the United States military. They are managers, consultants, writers, Army Rangers, even employees working for this program; all different occupations from all kinds of different industries. The type of industry these occupations derive from does not matter because all these individuals have one thing in common: they have a wide array of experiences and skills that they can impart to students in the MSBA program.  We can be exposed to what they learned working in their respective fields and get a handle on what kind of industry we may be working in after graduation. In addition we may have the opportunity to learn about leadership and managerial skills from our professors. I hope to have the opportunity to speak with them outside of class and compare these skills between military and private sector experiences. As I said, these are different industries but with similar qualities.
