There’s huge value in being a student in the city where there are so many opportunities. There are existing relationships with organizations that help a student who might not have those connections be able to branch out.
Meghan Jaben, IPhD student in art history
I've loved being a PMBA student at the Bloch School. It's been really fun being back in the classroom, learning, and it's been especially exciting doing it as a professional. The things I learn in class I get to bring back to work every day.
April Brewer, Interim Production Manager, Kansas City Repertory Theater
I really like the Bloch School. They have really great events for students and I was able to connect with employers, professors and other classmates.
