āThroughout the program, I had a lot of āahaā moments. There were times when weād cover a concept and Iād be like, āWait, they talked about this on our last earnings call.āā
āIf earning your MBA is something you want to do, do it. Put your heart into it, and know that you can achieve it. Āé¶¹AV will always have a lasting impression on me because of the experience I had.ā
āI didnāt feel like I had to give up so much of my life to get my MBA. I could take my time with it. I could take one class every eight weeks and not feel overwhelmed. I could really soak in all the education, do my homework, and feel like Iām learning something.ā
āI always tell the kids I coach that itās OK if you want to get into the workforce, but you have to get an education. Whether itās online, on campus, I donāt care. Just get an education.ā
āThe classes were very informational. Iād be able to pull up what I was doing with our clients at work and understand exactly what we were doing and why were doing it because of the classes I took.ā
"There are not many things you get to do as big as this. Enjoy the experience, take it slow, and ask questions when they come up. Āé¶¹AV has a huge support system; thatās one of the reasons I decided to go back.ā
āDonāt just do your homework and take your tests. Network and connect with as many classmates as you can. It really can be so enjoyable and exciting.ā
"Whatever your situation is, online learning will make it easier; you just have to keep working hard. The best part about it all is that no matter where you live, youāll get to be a Raginā Cajun."
āYouāre going to get as much out of the MBA program as you put into it. If youāre putting in the bare minimum, youāre going to get the bare minimum in return. But if you engage in the discussion forums and the people in your classes, you'll have a network of people you can connect with even after you finish.ā
āOnline worked so much better for me, because I can sit in a classroom and not get anything from it. But put me in a curriculum, tell me to go do the work for myself and do the reading, and I can pick up on it. But compared to in-person classes, you have to be a go getter, or it's just not going to come to you.ā
