 I chose to earn an MBA degree to leverage my engineering background. The MBA allowed me to balance my technical and critical-thinking skills with well-rounded business acumen.  With the ever-changing national and global economy, it is important to be versatile with the different types of skill sets that are required for career advancement.  My MBA compliments my undergraduate degree and I am now able to take on assignments that involve cost analysis, inventory control, and strategic planning. 

Youngstown State University’s Williamson College of Business Administration is accredited by the AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). I chose Youngstown State University’s MBA program because it is a premier business program and has an accreditation that is recognized around the world. 

One of the life-changing experiences I had in the MBA program is the International Study Tour to London and Dublin.  I was fortunate to participate in the business visits to companies such as BP, Cisco, and the Guinness brewery.
