I took the Entrepreneurship & Business development specialization for its multi-disciplinary nature. I would also highly recommend it for the way in which the program is taught. Students work in an autonomous fashion on cross-functional projects whilst benefitting from the support provided by faculty.
Paris School of Business has provided me with the kind of technological knowledge that is currently essential to progress as a manager, and above all the soft skills that make all the difference: spoken fluency, self-awareness, open mindedness, and adaptability.
