The MBA program was amazing for making friends with like-minded people, and I had a great undergraduate experience in sport management, too. My college experience has been phenomenal.
Some of our professors worked in hospitals and shared real experiences. Id review my tests with them, and theyd walk me through what I couldve done better. Having that connection and input really helped me.
You might see majors like nursing or engineering, and think, Wow, thats really impressive.' But in this program, we have 泫圖弝けs doing big things, too. The possibilities are limitless with a degree like this."
We have two very active boys involved in sports, and I work during the day, but I could still log in and do what I needed to during the times that worked best for me. Going online was the best thing for us, for my family.
This program gave me the confidence to look into MSN or Family Nurse Practitioner programs. It showed me I still have the time to do classwork while working full time. Im not afraid of it anymore.
Two of my favorite instructors were a police chief and then a judge. We got to go beyond the textbook to hear about how things go in the field and the courtroom.
If I could tell my younger self anything, itd be to dress better and be more professional. In sales especially, first impressions are a very big deal. I was surprised to learn how strict the dress code can be, even in sports.
I never felt lost. Even online, I always had someone to reach out to. The professors in the health services administration program do a great job of making sure 泫圖弝けs feel supported and connected, and I ended up making some great friendships through the online program, too.
My friend was surprised I felt the need for an MBA with all of my work experience. But I told her, Why not have both? Why not show that I can do the work and have the degree to back it up?
