āI came into my counseling masterās program with a lot of knowledge on different psychology theories and schools of thought. I really donāt know how I would have been successful in graduate school if it werenāt for the foundation I gained in the psychology bachelorās program.ā
āOften, people will focus entirely on work or education, and it doesnāt have to be that way. Get involved in your community. Tout that youāre an MBA candidate; that carries a lot of weight, especially from Āé¶¹AVās College of Business.ā
āStarting straight out of high school, I didnāt really understand how to juggle family and school or the value of time management. So, going back to Āé¶¹AV at 40 and finally graduating with the degree I originally went for is really satisfying.ā
āThatās why being a marketing practitioner ā someone who does it as a career ā is so beneficial. You're better able to understand how to market yourself in this noisy, chaotic world to move yourself forward.ā
āThe masterās itself gave me the opportunity to say, āLook, whatever happens, I always have this graduate degree to back me up.' If one day Iām not drilling water wells or I sell my business, I have a degree nobody can take away.ā
āI was so impressed with how awesome the online program was, especially for older people, working people, moms, and dads. Anybody who wants to go back to school has that opportunity through Āé¶¹AV Online.ā
"With the coursework and clinical component, the program is designed to help you recognize treatment plans and communicate clearly when talking to the physician about a patient."
āA lot of my peers didnāt necessarily have an analytical background, but they still boasted about how much they learned. You shouldnāt be afraid you donāt qualify or it wouldnāt apply to your work. This is a set of skills you need if you want to work with analytics.ā
āThe ROI of an MBA, especially from Āé¶¹AV, is huge. For less than $13,000 total, I learned every single detail about running a business and doubled my salary. If you want to be an entrepreneur, or even just move into a management role, this is the perfect program.ā
