”I feel that the‘real-world’business applications taught at Drucker complementmy analytically-focused Southwestern education. They naturally go hand-in-hand. Additionally, the opportunities to socialize with students of both backgrounds (lawand business) have helped me viewtheworld fromtwo different, but related, perspectives.” –MelissaGordy (Drucker ’11, Southwestern ‘11)
