Testimonials

Having spent my first 20 years in my career in the healthcare business, I often get asked what helped me take my role to a national level working for a Fortune 10 company. The answer is my recent graduation from Longwood’s MBA program.

“In addition to professional development, the program helped me improve my skills in real estate investing. This is something I do outside of my day-to-day job, with my brother, where we purchase foreclosed homes, fix them up, and then rent them out.”

The professors were always very personable, and you had real connections with them. They were all willing to help you out in the real world, serving as a reference for you and helping you career-wise in the search. Numerous professors served as references when I was applying for jobs and scholarships.

I definitely wanted to go to Longwood because I got to know the professors. It made it easier to connect with them and their teaching styles. Also, because it’s a small school, the courses are much more interactive. If you are emailing a professor, they will get back to you in two to three hours.

I wanted to do something to be more marketable with the master’s degree. The MBA seemed interesting. I had no business or finance background, but I have always pushed myself and been willing to step outside my comfort zone.

I wanted to further my career and do something in the industry I am in now. Plus, it was all online, which is perfect for me. The flexibility is great.
