“Going back to school has been one of the best decisions I could have made since it helped me grow in my career. I’ve changed positions twice, both moving up to a more influential and leadership role. And I don’t think I would have gotten it without having been part of the MBA program.”
Leadership MBA
“I compared the curricula of programs at Saint Joseph’s College, the University of Southern Maine, and Husson University. The MBA in Leadership at Saint Joseph’s was different for all the right reasons. The other programs are focused on the ‘how?’ Saint Joseph’s focuses on the ‘what?’ and the ‘why?’”
Leadership MBA
“Getting my MBA from SJC was one of the best decisions I ever made! I had a preconceived notion that an online program might feel isolating because you’re not in a physical classroom face to face with your classmates and professors. The Socratic method actually encouraged a great deal of interface among classmates. Friendships developed as we reached out via email and text and within chat spaces. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about expanding their knowledge base.”
