“Yes, I got the piece of paper that hangs on my wall and appears on my resume, but more than that, I got an experience. The growth and learning that I gained has no doubt changed the trajectory of my career.”

“I learned to strike the right balance in my life and how to adeptly negotiate between the demands of my profession, education and family.”

“Because of lasting partnerships developed throughout the program, I am better equipped to engage in patient-centered, data-driven strategic imperatives that help keep our communities safe and healthy.”

“Joining other women and lifting them up as they lift you up is really impactful on your career. I attended some really great networking events when I was going to the U, and they’re still extending invites to me even after graduating.”

“My MBA enabled me to change my career path from teaching and corporate training to data analytics. It gave me confidence to excel in a new field and has opened up many new opportunities throughout the world not previously available.”

“I am married and have a beautiful daughter, so she and I would have homework time so that we could spend time together. She got a real kick out of that, asking me if my homework was done.”

“I have been surprised by how quickly I’ve been able to apply the concepts we’re learning to my work. It has given me greater insight into the management, politics, and capital structure of my company.”

“Pursuing an MBA was transformative for my soul and my career as well, and also the way my children look at me and interact with me. It has changed my entire life and has changed my perspective.”
