I was the only student to pass an intensive two-day 'core exam' on the first try, although the four other students in my class had far more advanced mathematics backgrounds. At that point I realized how well the Boise State economics department had prepared me for that first year of intense graduate-level economic theory." – Mike Ferguson OUTSTANDING ALUMNI SERIES 2002 Boise State University College of Business & Economics: "Providing the Foundation for Professional Success."
