“The Management program helped me reach my lifelong dream of a college degree. Classes were challenging, fun and relative to my responsibilities as a manager. Interaction with other students offered encouragement to excel and opportunities to share real-world experiences.
“The on-the-job applications drew the positive attention of my boss and enhanced my performance in the workplace. The Management Program helped develop the skill sets necessary to lead and coach others. My professor, Mary Lou Avera, drew on her own expertise to challenge us to reach our career potential. I am so glad I did it, and you will be, too!”
Pat Sykes continued her education, earning a bachelor’s degree in management from Dallas Baptist University.

“With my travel schedule it’s really hard to be in a classroom, and even when I’m in town my work hours are erratic. The strong point of taking courses online is the flexibility and freedom. I can just log on and do my homework at home or on the road in a hotel.”
