"This degree taught me how to think beyond the numbers and better interpret the information that was presented to me. Also, I was able to link many of the lessons I was learning in class to my professional work environment. There were certain situations where I even told myself "man, I wish I had taken this class before I executed that project last week." - Vontravis M., Operations Management
