“My friend was surprised I felt the need for an MBA with all of my work experience. But I told her, ‘Why not have both? Why not show that I can do the work and have the degree to back it up?’”
“Throughout the program, I had a lot of ‘aha’ moments. There were times when we’d cover a concept and I’d be like, ‘Wait, they talked about this on our last earnings call.’”
“If earning your MBA is something you want to do, do it. Put your heart into it, and know that you can achieve it. UL Lafayette will always have a lasting impression on me because of the experience I had.”
“I didn’t feel like I had to give up so much of my life to get my MBA. I could take my time with it. I could take one class every eight weeks and not feel overwhelmed and really be able to soak in all the education and do my homework and really feel like I’m learning something.”
“I always tell the kids I coach that it’s OK if you want to get into the workforce, but you have to get an education. Whether it’s online, on campus, I don’t care. Just get an education.”
“The classes were very informational. I’d be able to pull up what I was doing with our clients at work and understand exactly what we were doing and why were doing it because of the classes I took.”
"There are not many things you get to do as big as this. Enjoy the experience, take it slow, and ask questions when they come up because UL Lafayette has a huge support system. That’s one of the reasons I decided to go back.”
"Whatever your situation is, online learning will make it easier; you just have to keep working hard. The best part about it all is that no matter where you live, you’ll get to be a Ragin’ Cajun."
