Don’t take it from us – check out what a couple of our amazing online MBA students have said about the program and how it helps their individual goals.

Michael Henderson – Fall 2020 Online MBA Cohort

“What I appreciate most about the online learning system is that I can go at my own pace. The program is very convenient and flexible, with the bonus of still being able to participate in the Global Business International Trip!”

Michael Henderson is a Fall 2020 Online MBA student, as well as Demand Generation Specialist at GE Appliances. Being able to adjust his education to his schedule while still getting the full MBA experience and knowledge is important to Michael, as well as many other business professionals. Besides balancing work and education, Michael also has a family so flexible coursework is crucial.

Michael

As to what made Michael know now is the time to pursue an MBA, “Going from job to job after I earned my bachelor’s and COVID-19 hitting, I knew the summer of 2020 was my time to hit the ground running…” The need for both solidity and growth in his professional career – especially during this rapidly changing work landscape – is a reason we hear frequently as to why students choose to get their MBA.

Michael’s advice for professionals debating on furthering their education or career – “Whatever it is that you want to do work wise, education wise, do it! Don’t let anybody or anything stop you from that. My mother died at a very young age, [and] I had my daughter [during] my sophomore year at UofL. I use my past work experiences, personal experiences, and my four-year-old daughter as motivation to keep going and achieve everything in front of me!”

Melany Meador – Fall 2019 Online MBA Cohort

Melany Meador is part of the Fall 2019 online MBA cohort as well as an Active-Duty Religious Affairs Non-Commissioned Officer for the United States Army.

“In corporate America, you will typically be on a team and need to learn to work together with everyone, from all different walks of life,” Melany explained. “I enjoyed the cohort layout and diverse teams they put us in. This was very much like ‘real-life.’ UofL was preparing us for the real world.” UofL understands diversity, equity and inclusion is extremely important and including in online learning is no different.

While collaborating with a diverse team is a great benefit of UofL’s MBA, the flexible online learning platform was a necessity for Melany due to her position in the United States Army and shared this is what she appreciated most of the program. “As a full-time, active-duty service member, this is very important. I can learn and do my schoolwork when I have free time after work is done.”

Melany’s “why” for pursuing her MBA? She believes earning her MBA will assist her to achieve professionally not only in her current active-duty military officer but also as a civilian. “While I continue to serve in the Army, my MBA has helped to strengthen my leadership skills and will also help to keep me competitive for future promotions. After I retire from the military, an MBA will assist in keeping me more competitive for the civilian job market.” Melany knows taking the step now will help her succeed in the future.
