Testimonials

Emily C Endler (Evening Professional MBA student)

The Professional MBA program has provided me with the opportunity to challenge my traditional way of thinking. The opportunities to hear local business leaders speak, take an international trip, and participate in the mentor program have only added to the value. This program has not only strengthened my communication skills, professional network and confidence to succeed, but also provides me with a degree that is respected in the community and will help to advance my professional career.

Chip Gibson (Evening Professional MBA student)

The Professional MBA program has been both challenging and rewarding. I have already seen benefits from the program in my professional life as my business knowledge and understanding have increased. The structure and pace of the Professional MBA degree are demanding, but are the right fit for me as I successfully balance work, family, and continuing my education.

Lakeisha Mabry (Entrepreneurship MBA student)

I always dreamed of owning my own business, I just didn't know where to start. The Entrepreneurship MBA program is making that dream a reality. The curriculum covers the whole entrepreneurial process offering classes on idea generation, new venture creation and business plan development.

Keron Miller (Saturday Professional MBA Student)

I was not sure how I could find the time to manage work and family while being enrolled in the MBA program. What I discovered was that the class schedule is intense but manageable. In the end, it’s all about balance. The program encourages you to prioritize your efforts, diminish your weaknesses, and hone in on your strengths. As a student here at UofL, I believe that the MBA program is first and foremost about making a better you.

Diego E Montoya-Durango (Entrepreneurship MBA students)

The Entrepreneurship MBA program has been a deeply enriching experience, equally challenging and exciting. The students constantly face real-life situations occurring in the entrepreneurial world and the support for this program comes from excellent faculty. From them, you will find guidance, patience, support and encouragement, always in a highly competitive and demanding environment. If your spirit likes adventure and risk, if you want to create your own business, or if you want to revolutionize a consolidated and mature company, this program will provide you with the tools to do that and more.

Greg Virgin (Entrepreneurship MBA student)

Not only do I have the opportunity to learn from highly qualified professors with real entrepreneurial experience, I also learn from my classmates who are all talented professionals from many different fields. The courses are intense and challenging, and at the end of the day, I have real knowledge that can be applied immediately at work. As a professional who is determined to differentiate myself not only with a degree, but also with raw ability, the Entrepreneurship MBA program was the perfect choice for me.
