Testimonials

Lisa

I always wanted to obtain my MBA so that I could better understand the challenges that managers face in the business world. I chose Edgewood College because it was small, challenging, had a diverse student population and face time with all the professors. As of Jan 2011, I started my dream job with my dream firm, so I am over the moon! I would do it all again in a heartbeat!

Take the plunge-you won't regret it!

Tom Kaster

I entered my MBA at a time when the economy was running on all cylinders. In the middle of my course work, we witnessed a historical recession and the slow but gradual climb out, which is still in progress. Working on my MBA at Edgewood helped me understand how interdependent the world's economy and business climate has become. The world truly is flat and now we understand the global economic downside when domestic economies decline. From an ethical standpoint, it helped me analyze and learn from many of the poor business behaviors that were exposed during the recession. We all need to remember what we learned and use ethical principles and framework to help us make better decisions in the future.
