"Between my full-time job, my small business, and my family, it was daunting to go back to school; but this program has been great in allowing me to balance all of these things while still taking classes."

Anna Vander Beek
"I chose UNI because I had been taking courses for a while in preparation to transfer to another institution, but when I saw the Managing Business & Organization BAS program’s cost effectiveness and course load, I knew it was a better fit. The professors are very cognizant that students in this program are working professionals with other obligations, yet are still able to provide us with a quality curriculum. This program has helped me reach my goals. Once I complete the program, I feel I will no longer be limited because of my degree achievement."

"After earning an AAS in Health Information Technology, I looked at several different programs to earn my bachelor’s degree. I chose UNI because I know many people who had great experiences. It also appealed to me because of the schedule, with two classes per semester, and all online learning. For a busy mom working full-time, online learning is a must. The Managing Business and Organizations program is a great fit for me. I can work on my schoolwork when it is convenient for me and the professors have been flexible and very accommodating. This program is helping me reach my goal of earning my bachelor’s degree so I can apply for higher-level jobs at my employer."
