Stephen Calicchio worked with startups in Philadelphia before relocating thousands of miles across the Atlantic to pursue a one-year MBA program in Milan, Italy. Why? Stephen wanted a truly international MBA experience in his ancestral home.

In the US, many MBA programs are still dominated by domestic students. International MBA students make up less than 50% of the class at most top-ranked US business schools. At Italy’s MIP Politecnico di Milano, 75% of full-time MBA students are international, representing over 20 different nationalities.
