A Positive Experience from an Online MBA Grad
I had my bachelor's - my undergraduate degree in international business - for just about seven years, and I've always wanted to get my master's degree. When I looked at other universities and selected Kaplan for my master’s degree, Kaplan gave you the most bang for your buck. I met professors that were actually in the industries that they taught. This was not purely an academic setting.
Everything that we do in international business is all about relating to other people, and everything you do at Kaplan is about how you relate to other people, and how that relation allows you to do better. I met people who were from China, who were from Japan, who were from the Middle East; I met a gentleman who was a program developer for Microsoft based in Shang Hai.
One of my classmates was in Iraq at the time, and we would collaborate on different projects while she’s in Iraq and I’m in the United States. That’s the beauty of Kaplan. We share and we learn from each other, and then you can go back to work the next day and apply the same information that you learned in class.
I work for the U.S. Small Business Administration. Because I have my master’s degree from Kaplan, I actually was able to obtain the job that I have right now, where I’m helping small businesses. Without my master’s degree from Kaplan I would not have even been considered for the position. So, my degree is allowing me to touch people outside of me and allowing them to touch people outside of them – almost like paying it forward.
