“It is a small tight-knit class. We all know each other, and we all have bonded not only over the degree but our own personal experiences. We go through the difficult times together and celebrate the positive times.”

"There is a bond we all have that is very rare in a large group. We all love music and love to sing, and our common denominator was Mr. C. These people are all part of our extended family. I usually compare our gatherings to a family reunion where you really like your cousins.”

“I encourage anyone with these professional skills to join us. Believe me, it is beyond rewarding to see how these students’ lives are changed.

We have lectures and go through the basics, and we talk through everything that we will experience in the real world. Getting hands-on you learn more, experience it, and you know exactly what is going to happen. When I go into the industry, I will already have done it.”

“��Ӱֱ�� State allows students the opportunity to get a more hands-on knowledge-based knowledge set. We get to do a lot more hands-on based things and I think that is more applicable to working in the industry.”

“We went from playing on MacBooks to playing on nice PCs in a couple years which was impressive. It was fun for me, but it was a lot of work form all of us to get to that point. It proved to me that what Professor Neuberger said in class was true, if you put the time in, you are going to get the results you want.”

“The Marketing BBA is a culmination of key topics and digital skills preparing students for today’s new marketing environments. The advantage of them learning digital design, content writing, and business marketing emulates how marketing and advertising firms actually work together. Students will have the benefit of hands-on projects and presentations solving marketing issues, completing market analyses, and developing digital marketing campaigns for business clients.”

Susan Gorman, assistant marketing professor and program coordinator,

“I really like the environment ��Ӱֱ�� State provided. Every interaction I had with staff, students, and faculty on campus was positive. Coming from a populated city, I always wanted lesser people in class so I could interact with the teacher more. I can always go into their office hours and talk about any future goals or certifications that I wanted to do.”

“At ��Ӱֱ�� State, we offer a high-quality education that is purposeful, practical, and affordable.
