Based in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the Carlson School of Management is a leader in business education and research.
"I chose Carlson for its focus on experiential learning, its small class size that fosters close interaction, its relationship with large fortune 500 companies in the Twin Cities, and most importantly its ethos of business being a force for good."
