Rodrigo Sanchez Mujica
LL.M. in Corporate and Securities Regulation, Cardozo School of Law (Class of '12)* — Director of Regulatory Affairs, Mastercard.
"Cardozo Law LLM in Corporate and Securities Regulation provided me with a rigorous academic foundation and invaluable practical skills, equipping me with the knowledge and tools necessary to excel in my current role as Director of Regulatory Affairs. The program's emphasis on US Law, critical thinking, and professional development, combined with the unparalleled access to the legal and financial hubs of NYC, created an environment conducive to both academic and professional growth.
Studying at Cardozo facilitated my path towards qualifying for the New York State Bar. This was instrumental in my career trajectory, opening doors to exciting opportunities within the New York legal market, ultimately leading to my current role at Mastercard."
Michelle B.
Online MBA, Sy Syms School of Business
"At Yeshiva University, I was afforded so many opportunities. With each class, you learn about leadership, financial data, financial management. You learn about risk. You learn about governance. It's manageable and it rejuvenates you and gives you a new sense of life and fulfillment. Be hungry and chase after it."
Daniel Zohny
LL.M., Cardozo School of Law (Class of '06)* — Country Manager – Partner | Global Head of Online Brand Protection, Abion (Switzerland)
"Getting an LL.M. specializing in IP at Cardozo gave me the skills to practice IP law. I honed my legal and English skills to a level that allowed me to pass the New York bar and land an associate position in IP in private practice in NYC. It also introduced me to a network of people that I often deal with professionally, many of whom I call true friends."
Jennifer Prat
M.A. in Mental Health Counseling, Ferkauf School (2024 Graduate)
"Feeling at home in an educational institution is not something I'd previously had the privilege of experiencing and finding a home at Ferkauf has been life-changing on a molecular level. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn in this community."
Jesus Olivera
M.S. in Data Analytics and Visualization, Katz School (U.S.)*
"Thanks to the data analytics master's program, I have gained numerous technical skills that allowed me to join one of the most prestigious technology companies in the world. I needed that extra level of academic experience to be able to talk about the technical side of the business at IBM with confidence."
Jee Ho Bae
M.S. in Data Analytics and Visualization, Katz School (South Korea)
"Three factors influenced my decision on where to attend graduate school: location, program quality, and program length. The Katz School has all three. The midtown Manhattan location is a huge advantage when networking with professionals in the data analysis and data science fields, and the program has a practical approach to learning. In our class projects, my classmates and I were developing solutions and methodologies that solve real world problems."
