Why Drew Chose Jenkins MBA
“I chose the Jenkins MBA program for the best bang for my buck! The Jenkins MBA program is well known, and more affordable than other programs in the area. I use the tuition waiver through my employer and will be able to graduate with an MBA with zero debt! Also, the Jenkins MBA program’s flexibility drew me to apply. Working full-time while going to school, it was important for me to maintain a work-life-school balance. I love the ability to take as many or as few classes as I need to, whether in-person or online. The certificate programs and ERM initiative were the cherry on top!”
