Hear from our Students
"The entrepreneurial approach to leadership and focus on nurturing catalysts of change put Bay Path's program above others. I wanted more than the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake – I wanted to apply it in a meaningful and impactful way. One of the most enjoyable features of this program is how directly applicable it is to my everyday work. It has helped me to better understand the dynamics of my organization and put language to the challenges and opportunities I experience. Often, I can immediately imagine a real-time example of a leadership scenario or other situation we are studying because my work is so closely aligned with the program."
