"We Can Do It!"...
This quote has been a pillar for me throughout my professional career. Whenever outcomes seemed impossible to reach, I remembered that with vigor, confidence, and a strong team behind you, that you can jump over seemingly impossible hurdles and achieve greater victories that you originally thought possible. Now, as the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Outreach, I pass this encouragement to you. Take the leap! Push farther in your career. Take a new career path if you desire. But always remember to keep going. Our MBA is built for professionals like you, who are already seeing professional success, but want to take the next step to go to the TOP!
In this booklet you will be introduced to our 5 program concentrations, meet faculty and students, and catch a glimpse of the adaptability our program holds. Welcome to the WKU MBA, where we believe that the best view comes after you climb to the top. I leave you with this, "You can do it!"
