“The Working Professionals MBA program put me on the right track by delivering the technical concepts and overall degree knowledge that is needed today to advance through the ranks.”

“Working full time with an unpredictable schedule would not have allowed me to commit to an MBA program out of town. I am so grateful I can attend such a high caliber program right here in the city where I work and live on Saturdays. This MBA program has expanded my leadership and technical skills so I can be better at what I do. This degree contributes to my credibility at work.”
