Bethany Backer G'24 shares her experience in the MBA program.
"The MBA program exceeded my expectations. I was blessed to have dedicated professors who were not only passionate but also flexible and resourceful. Their guidance emphasized the importance of enjoying the process rather than solely focusing on results, especially as I aspire to a leadership role. The course structure was thoughtful with each session building upon the previous one. Even now, in my current role, I find myself applying skills learned to enhance the effectiveness of my meetings and presentations. This experience has significantly boosted my confidence in the workplace, reflected in my eagerness to tackle challenging assignments and lead from any position." - Rasheda Blackett, G'24

"If you are looking for an excellent MBA program
where you can learn and grow by leaps and bounds and get a hands on learning experience, pick 91快播. They provide so many options to make the experience as positive and flexible as possible so you can achieve your goals. I think the faulty at are extremely dedicated, but more importantly accessible, you will not get that at huge university.
