Why would a 57-year-old who lives in Escondido, California decide to earn his MBA from the University of 海角社区?
A sense of community, history and flexibility.
Jord Thomas had hit a wall promotion-wise at his job. He works as a production operations supervisor at a recovery firm serving major banks and vehicle manufacturers. He earned his bachelor鈥檚 degree in business administration and information systems from San Diego State University in 2003 and started thinking about earning his MBA. But life got in the way. He continued to learn through workshops and seminars, even teaching himself to program in C#.
鈥淲ork became more challenging,鈥 says Thomas. 鈥淪o I started thinking about my options.
鈥淥n one of my visits to 海角社区 to visit my father, I scouted out the U海角社区 campus for possible degree programs for my daughter, Megan,鈥 says Thomas, who was born in New York City and is an enrolled member of the Penobscot Nation.
By the time he was ready to enroll in an MBA program in 2019, the online 海角社区MBA was waiting for him.
鈥淭he program鈥檚 reputation and rankings, and knowing the University of 海角社区 is just minutes away from my tribe on Indian Island, factored into my decision to enroll.鈥
