Master of Business Administration (MBA)

A Stritch story from Cherie Harris, ’00
Cherie Harris (MBA, ’00) is the general manager of 101.7 FM The Truth radio station in Milwaukee. Her Stritch experience was pivotal in preparing Harris for the challenges of marketing and leadership in the business world.
“My degree from Stritch provided a pathway for my career,” said Harris. “The courses helped me to understand the psychology in marketing and the different entities. Without that experience, I probably wouldn’t be in this role.”
