open quote iconI was looking to change careers and always had an interest in law. Initially, I wasn’t planning to look for a new job until I graduated. The program gave me the confidence to begin looking for a new career prior to graduation. I began applying in the spring [before graduation] and was hired for my current position.close quote icon

open quote iconMy degree program was a key factor in being promoted into my current role. The breadth of the curriculum was attractive to my employer as I was going through the interview process, and I believe it strongly helped my cause. Each class gave me something I was able to leverage in real time in my role and validated the choice I made to attend. I was so impressed with the professors’ collective knowledge, availability, and commitment to my learning.close quote icon

open quote iconI wanted more education and an advanced degree … but not just your standard MBA. The Wealth Management program was interesting, and it paralleled nicely with my job. Within seven months I had three lucrative job offers for better pay and higher positions. I wasn’t even looking for a job, but my degree accentuated my experience and made me an attractive candidate.close quote icon

open quote iconMy confidence in dealing with attorneys, contracts, and complex business matters is much stronger than it was before. My writing is more concise and I rarely rely on anything other than Primary Source materials when I’m working on a problem. I can draft better documents, read complex documents effectively, and my opinions are sought out by a variety of staff, peers, and executives.close quote icon
