Testimonials

“Longwood’s MBA program allowed me to work with all of my faculty very closely, which ensured I understood the course material and allowed me to forge long-lasting relationships. I don’t know where I would be without my MBA from Longwood University!”

“As a public school art teacher with an undergraduate BFA and concentration in education, I utilized the program as the catalyst for a career change. The program enabled me to develop my business acumen and marry it with my passion for education. Upon completing the MBA program, the door of opportunity into the realm of economic development opened, and I attained a position as a business analyst.”

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.
