From Our Online Graduates

I have a passion for sports and wanted to gain more knowledge on the analytics and business aspect of the sports world for what will come next in my career.

JuliaOnline MBA Graduate, Louisiana

I was managing a new job, a new family, a new baby. Everything I've learned, the connections I've made, the people I've met, the professors I've learned from—have all been an incredible experience. If you're on the fence, do it. Make the jump, and enroll.

AndrewOnline MBA Graduate, Michigan

I work full-time for the MS Army National Guard, and I’m also a full-time parent. My online master’s just worked because I can do it all. My schedule worked around work, kids, other activities. You never know how much fortitude you have until you reach the end.

JessicaOnline Graduate, Mississippi

I chose online classes because there is no way to put a pause on life. I would not be in the position I am now without my master’s in IMC. Having a master’s gave my new job the confidence to take a chance on me. This was really the beginning — of a new field, a new opportunity, a new me.
