What students say about us

Josephine Bengtsson

Procurement Officer, CERN

Having small classes and professors who are willing to spend additional time heling us understand concepts is something that larger schools do not offer. I believe BSL fosters our entrepreneurial mindset and desires to make an impact in the world, either inside an organization or by creating our own business.
