Earning an MBA can transform your professional future. Yet going back to school requires a significant investment of time. Working professionals’ schedules have always been stretched, and that’s especially true these days.

Fortunately, ���ϲʿ�’s has designed flexible graduate programs with busy people in mind. A few of our graduates weighed in about how they managed it all:

“One of the main reasons I chose ���ϲʿ�’s was the flexibility. Because our in-person class meetings were on the weekends, and we had online classes between those meetings, I was able to keep working full time. Plus, I was able to apply what I learned on the job immediately. For one of my assignments I created an app to motivate the three groups I managed at work – and it ended up transforming my teams’ attitude and performance.”—Ron Chatterjee '19, MBA

“I earned my MBA at ���ϲʿ�’s to better position myself for returning to the corporate world after ten years as a full-time mom. I started school when my youngest went into kindergarten, and at that point I was still the primary parent for threeTK kids. It was incredibly helpful that my classes were mainly online, with a few in-person meetings on the weekend. I studied while the kids were in school or at soccer practice, and my classes were often after the kids were in bed. After graduation I was able to get back on the project management career path I’d left, with the help of a classmate who supported me through the hiring process at her company.” —Lynda Quintana ’18, MBA

"One of the things I was looking for in an MBA program was accessibility, in terms of where the program was located and when classes met. I appreciated that ���ϲʿ�’s was partly online and that we met face-to-face three times per class, on the weekend. I work from home and don’t keep strict 8-5 hours; sometimes I have calls very early in the morning or later in the evening. Having the flexibility to fit in both work and school was very important.” —Sandra Lewis ’19, MBA

“While I was in school, I worked full-time in Round Rock and drove to ���ϲʿ�’s in rush-hour traffic for my evening classes. I had to become more efficient at my job so I could walk out the door at 5, and I got rid of cable and any other distractions. I was just extremely committed to the program. My master’s from ���ϲʿ�’s transformed not just my skillset but my confidence, and I advanced very quickly in the sector I entered after I graduated.” —Christopher Burton ’99, MBA
