TestimonialsMy undergraduate education and experience has been in technical and aeronautical fields. I knew it would be critical to my success as a manager and leader to grow in non-technical areas, and an MBA seemed like a perfect next step to take. More than simply learning new “facts,” I have learned about how to think differently—more like a leader. I am very confident that the ELMBA degree will transform me and give me opportunities in my workplace that would not have happened otherwise.

– Aaron Mingle (Executive Leadership MBA), Dynamic Aviation

I selected JMU for two reasons: the hybrid (online and in-person) instructional model, and my previous experience in undergrad at JMU. Cybersecurity has become very important in the marketplace, and it is reassuring to be earning my MBA with an AACSB-accredited program that ranked among the Top 10 MBA programs for Cybersecurity in 2016. I am confident I will be even more successful in the workplace and a valuable asset my company.

– Jeannie Nguyen (InfoSec MBA), Navy Federal Credit Union

I was able to leverage my MBA with a new firm immediately upon completing my degree. I believe the JMU MBA allowed me to stand out and gave me a competitive advantage above other candidates.
