How to apply
Request more information or start your application today.
I originally wanted the traditional on-campus study option, but that would mean quitting my job. At that time, I had assumed a mid-level management role in my company, responsible for formulating objectives with top-level management and translating those objectives down into actions. This was an exciting and challenging role which I wanted to build experience in. Thus, I considered the online study option as it gives me the opportunity to learn and work concurrently.
