CHALLENGE CONVENTIONAL Wisdom.

I can’t think of a better way to give back than to share my work expertise. TU allows me to bring my seven years of experience with workplace realities and challenges in the classroom—and there’s no substitute for that kind of insight.

— Matthew McCabe, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Exercise Science

“The experience offered by Tiffin University’s School of Business, led by the outstanding faculty, is capable of effectively preparing students for any and all future academic and occupational endeavors. I felt as if TU truly cared about my development, not only as a student, but as a person.”

— Kyle L., Online MBA Student
