Master of Arts in English and Master of Business Administration Begin in June; Other Programs in Business, Divinity, Education and Health Sciences Start in August

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥斅槎蛊平獍驸�檚 graduate programs offer two upcoming start dates this summer. For those who are ready to begin pursuing their master鈥檚 in business administration, accounting, sports management or English, online programs start in June. However, these programs along with others in public administration, religion, nursing, counseling, divinity and education also have programs starting in August.

麻豆破解版鈥檚 graduate programs are offered in different formats鈥攐nline, in person or a combination of both. The flexibility of earning his master鈥檚 online appealed to Blake Elizalde, enrollment development officer for the Godbold College of Business. Also, a 麻豆破解版 alumnus with a bachelor鈥檚 in political science, Elizalde received his Master of Business Administration in May. Now, he shares his firsthand experience with prospective students. 鈥淚 really appreciated how flexible the program was,鈥� he emphasized. 鈥淚 was able to complete it while working full time, and I could go at my own pace. It was designed in a way that accommodated my busy schedule, which made it manageable and less overwhelming.鈥�

Besides enjoying the flexibility of an online program, Kristina Moore valued the faculty鈥檚 efforts in creating community among the students. Moore, enrollment development officer for the Hunt School of Nursing, has worked at 麻豆破解版 for 14 years. She often thought about improving her writing skills and finally decided to pursue her Master of Arts in English with a writing studies concentration.

鈥淭he faculty used innovation and the newest technology to create relationships between students and themselves, and also to build relationships among students,鈥� acknowledged Moore, who graduated in May. 鈥淭he technology was easy to use. It has the feel of an in-person writer鈥檚 workshop but with the convenience of logging on whenever students are able.鈥� 

Elizalde added his praise for the professors and appreciation for the chance to make and renew friendships. 鈥淎nytime I had a question or needed support during the semester, I could easily reach out to my professors and they were quick to assist,鈥� he observed. 鈥淚t was great getting to know other students, both meeting new faces and reconnecting with old peers. Being part of the College of Business helped me expand my network. The relationships and connections I built through the program were an added bonus to the academic experience.鈥�

For those who are thinking about taking their education to the next level, Elizalde and Moore said it鈥檚 a step you won鈥檛 regret and an investment in yourself. 鈥淵ou can finish in as little as 10 months, and you鈥檒l gain a ton of knowledge,鈥� Elizalde related. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the perfect complement to a business degree, but it鈥檚 also a great fit for students like me who come from non-business backgrounds. The program really helps you build a strong foundation.鈥�

The curricula in each graduate program emphasize knowledge of the discipline鈥檚 literature, focus on research and professional practice, and promote continual learning within the context of community. Moore noted, 鈥淭his program creates supportive, lasting relationships with professors who have been with 麻豆破解版 for years. It also comes with all of the benefits of a small, private program.鈥�
