MBA Leadership and Change Management ’21

The MBA is a once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment that embodies multiple disciplines. It applies not only to business concepts but to soft skills, and stands alone without expiration or a renewal date. It is not a one-dimensional certificate but is truly a transformational experience. The skills I have learned in the MBA program are transferrable to any sector. It also allows the opportunity to pivot careers at any point in time. Through the experience, I am more confident in myself and my future educational and career goals.

DBA ’21

Pursuing a doctorate in business administration improves innovative abilities and enhances problem-solving capabilities. It also opens the doors to opportunities within academic research, and improves critical thinking and the development of views and ideas. The rapid development of modern business is evolving more than ever before, and employers are attracted to individuals who have taken the time to stay ahead of new theories, concepts and tools to gain a better understanding of the complexities of modern business. A DBA gives students the tools to move a business forward, and that’s attractive to employers.
