"An MBA should ultimately allow the holder to make excellent business and financial decisions in their professional and personal lives. They should come out of the program with increased discernment qualities, increased analytic capabilities and a keen understanding of how change impacts them."

"Online programs provide an excellent educational platform for highly motivated individuals who need more flexibility than classroom programs."

"The MBA should give the students the tools to become business leaders who are capable of initiating and making sound business decisions."

"Finance is just as much of an art as it is an objective science. I encourage creativity and critical thinking once students have a solid foundation of the basics."

"A valuable MBA is more than a collection of facts and knowledge. It's the ability to do things well, to lead with integrity, and to make decisions that benefit a broad range of stakeholders."

"The courses that I teach provide the students skills for making the decisions with financial and non-financial data. I would like the students to appreciate the value of data-driven decision making that is supported by a strong foundation."

"After nearly 20 years as a practicing lawyer, for profit and nonprofit entrepreneur and small business owner/manager, I returned to academia in order to share my education, wisdom and experience with others."

"I began an MBA program intending to eventually become a library director. The first course I took was an introductory accounting course, similar to MBA 601, and that was all it took to convince me to quit my job and go back to school full-time to get the courses I would need to sit for the CPA exam."

"I've always been a person that enjoyed the interaction of a classroom environment, either in person or online, and the learning that takes place in that setting."

"I believe an MBA opens a lot of doors for students, not only in what they learn in the classroom but also from the contacts they make as they work their way through an academic program."

"This degree is the cornerstone of business. It demonstrates achievement, aptitude, competence and potential in the field."
