Seth Marquit, M.D. | MBA in Entrepreneurship Student
The entrepreneurship courses at NSU played a huge role in helping me develop and grow my own business. What I valued most was the practical, hands-on approach to learning. Instead of focusing only on theory, the program emphasized real-world application, which made the concepts immediately useful in my own company. I especially enjoyed learning different business methodologies, such as Lean principles, which have had a tremendous impact on the way I approach problem-solving, operations, and growth. Another highlight was the opportunity to visit successful companies, learn directly from organizations that set a great example, and connect with an incredible group of entrepreneurs, professionals, and instructors. The combination of networking, learning from experienced leaders, and applying what we learned along the way made the experience both valuable and inspiring.
