Student Testimonial

Nadia Rajan, a student in the ABM program, shares her experience: "The ABM program is tough, but you can do it. I've built good relationships with my professors, advisors, teammates—everyone. I've had a lot of support."

Program Advice

Rajan advises students thinking about the ABM program to "prepare to work harder than ever before. Being a Division I athlete and a graduate student makes for long days. A 12-hour day is a light schedule. The ABM's an accelerated program; it moves fast, but if you stay on top of your work, you'll be okay. And you have your master's by age 22 or 23."
