Student Testimonials

“My decision to pursue an MBA degree from Waynesburg University has proven to be an advantageous decision, both on a personal and professional level. Personally, the program’s curriculum delivered business practitioners within the confines of a Christian worldview challenged me to approach the construct of vocation differently, with eternity in mind. Professionally, my MBA has enabled my qualifications for elevated leadership roles, which without my advanced degree, would not have been attainable.” -Hershelman – MBA Graduate – Director of Finance, Sasser Restoration

“I am very happy to be an MBA graduate from Waynesburg University. The program worked extremely well with my work schedule and the small cohort model in each class made learning and engaging more effective. The program allowed me to strengthen my leadership skills and my understanding of several different business concepts such as Data Analytics, Financial Analysis, and Global Business. I grew significantly throughout this program and enjoyed all of the classes. My favorite classes were Conflict Resolution and Organizational Behavior, as these are extremely relevant to my current job right now." -Skeete – MBA Graduate – Associate Director of Admissions

“The MBA program isn't just for people who graduated with a business undergraduate degree either. Your peers will come from a variety of backgrounds, and it's really interesting to get a more diverse set of perspectives. Some people have had a career for years and are now going for their MBA, so they are able to apply the course concepts to examples from their experiences, which can provide great insight and start thought-provoking conversations to view topics from a new angle.” -Pete – Current Student
