“I chose to return to school with the aim of advancing mycareer, recognizing the growing preference for individualswith recent degrees or ongoing Master's studies inmanagement roles. Prior to selecting a program, I carefullyconsidered various options, steering clear of typicaluniversities lacking substantial value. With prior experiencepursuing a Master's degree, I understood the significance ofin-class learning. The crucial factor I sought was the ability tocomprehend and effectively apply knowledge, rather thansimply acquiring theoretical terminology.My approach to pursuing an MBA may differ from manyothers; I don't envision myself climbing to high-levelmanagement positions. However, I see this degree as ameans to augment my skill set, aiming to excel as a mid-levelmanager who comprehends both the perspective of lower-level employees and the overarching goals of managementwithin my company.My overall experience with the program and faculty has beenremarkably positive. The structure of the modules and theinvaluable face-to-face interactions with faculty andclassmates stood out as the highlights of my journey"William SimmonsMBA in General Management 2023

“My decision to attend Pacific University MBA program in HealthcareManagement was driven by my pursuit of a career in healthcareoperations, aiming to complement my clinical expertise with a robustbusiness foundation. The program's emphasis on the MBA with anHealthcare Management specialization aligned perfectly with myaspirations. Beyond the duration of 15 months that suited my timeline,the standout features were the study abroad immersion and Pacific'srenowned academic standards, which set high expectations for itsstudents.Returning to school for an MBA was prompted by my realization thatmy research and clinical background alone couldn't catalyze thechange I sought in healthcare. I needed additional tools, and the MBAwas crucial for the roles I aimed to pursue, ensuring I'd be acompetitive candidate.While exploring programs, my criteria included cost, completion time,diversity among professors and cohorts, and a focus onfinance/accounting, an area I aimed to strengthen.Utilizing the MBA, I intend to seek new opportunities within thehealthcare industry, leveraging my enhanced skill set.The cohort's camaraderie and diverse insights have enriched mylearning. The varied teaching styles and professionalism of the facultyhave been commendable."Kristen CornachioneMBA in Healthcare Management 2023
