"One thing I enjoyed about being in systems technology was that I had elective options. The combination of having systems classes that focused on efficiency, while also having business classes that talked about leadership, progress, and employee empowerment will help me a lot throughout my career."
“You think that online, you’re not going to have those interactions, but I actually had great interactions with all of my professors and other students as well. I’ve made connections with people that I still talk to today that I’ve never met in person.”
"It's a great opportunity to apply what I've been able to do in the past to drive them toward the new day of health care. I have greater confidence in driving change and decisions, because I better understood the why and not just the technical aspects of the changes in health care."
"My degree has given me the confidence to pursue opportunities that I wouldn’t have otherwise. Gaining the knowledge that I did, and expanding my skill set, I feel like I’ve exponentially increased my job performance and career opportunities.”
“The ease of being able to take courses online was definitely a factor for me. I wanted something that was going to be at my pace, from home. I wanted to continue to work and did work full time ahead of the clinical portion.”
