Why APU
The small class size and interactive/experiential learning style at APU is very attractive to me. The instructors are a great mix of academic and real world experience and typically utilize relevant current world situations for class projects. Working closely with fellow students in a team environment has been great. Many of the classes focus on projects that are process as well as results oriented. This develops skills in working relationships as well as technical knowledge.
Advice for Future MBA Students
While the educational experience at APU is geared towards the individual, you will develop friendships and business contacts that will enhance your professional life. The content knowledge you will gain can be utilized in a variety of work environments from non-profit to corporate.
