I have seen a very strong return on investment from the MBA. In fact, since I’ve completed the program, my income has gone up by 75%. I’ve seen many more opportunities open up. It’s made it a lot easier for me to be employable, for me to be successful, and for me to make a solid income for my family.

I was comparing how well schools were ranked along with price points per credit — I didn’t want to spend huge amounts. The University of Utah David Eccles School of Business really balanced it nicely between high-quality education and affordability.

Once you’re done with the program, the ROI almost falls into your lap. Before I finished the program, I had already moved to another company with better pay. A year after I left the program, I moved up in pay again. The ROI is very significant and very worth it.

The platform’s technology is great. It makes the material available anytime, anywhere. There’s tons of flexibility — you can really go through the lessons at your own pace. The exams and quizzes generally have pretty wide windows of time to get them completed, which makes it doable.

I feel like the faculty, the teachers, and the advisors do everything they can to make sure that your experience and your life circumstances are accounted for throughout the program. Without the online format, this would be impossible for me.
Hayden Ballou | MBA Online Alum
I run into questions with my business all the time, but the MBA gave me a group of people who I can reach out to and ask ‘what are your thoughts on this?’ It’s beneficial, and I’ve been lucky enough within my cohort to find a network of people that I’ll have lifelong friendships with, both personal and professional.

There’s lots of different resources within this program to help you find your next job if that’s what you’re looking for. If you’re just looking to bump up in your job, they will help you navigate that. Built into the program, you have an executive career coach that will work with you. That’s like a $10,000 bonus right there. I started meeting with mine the minute the program started.

Once you break the ice, which is what the University of Utah helped facilitate doing, it’s super easy and very organic to build connections online. The initial group projects you have connect you with different students across the United States and across the world. I think it was really helpful that the curriculum structure connected people automatically.
Anne-Marie Oliver | MBA Online Alum
Through residency, I was able to build a really strong network that lasted throughout the entire program. We were able to spend multiple days in class and multiple days socializing. One of the people from the group I formed at residency is still one of my best friends to this day — we talk weekly about things going on in our lives and going on at work.
Alec Wojac | MBA Online Alum
My interactions with professors via the live webinars were some of my favorite things I’ve gotten out of the program. The faculty at University of Utah is really high-quality. We got to know the professors and were able to ask them questions and be there with them live.
