"Being part of the JCU MBA Program allowed me great flexibility while working full-time. The experience was invaluable, and the course work was instrumental in developing my leadership skills and abilities which I was able to quickly apply to my position. If it was not for JCU’s Executive MBA Program, I would not have advanced as comfortably and quicky in my profession to become a rising leader and star in Cleveland’s construction industry."
