"I always wanted to get my MBA and USI made that dream possible. The MBA program was fun and challenging and set me up for success with my current position at the university. I'm already using what I learned in the program to help my team and the university."

Azeez Oseni

"I picked the USI MBA for its AACSB accreditation and a curriculum that actually fits into my busy professional schedule. The Project Management track was a game-changer, and it gave me the tools to turn complex ideas into organized plans especially when it comes to managing risks, budgets, and stakeholders. Coming from medicine and global health, I now feel much more confident leading cross-sector projects with a clear sense of discipline. The coursework was intense but practical, and I could apply what I learned to my international development and nonprofit work in real-time. Looking ahead, this degree prepares me for senior leadership and consulting roles."

Meghan Craven

"I appreciate my MBA through the Romain College of Business online, which allowed me to pursue my degree while working full time. My degree not only provided me with the confidence to take on new challenges but also opened doors to advanced roles that have significantly shaped my career path."

Julie Tillman

"I recently completed the USI MBA program and applied for a hospital leadership position that required an MBA or MHA. Last week, I accepted the position as Physician Executive for the Women’s and Newborns’ Product Line at Community Health Network in Indiana, overseeing the departments in 5 hospitals.

"This MBA program was exactly what I was looking for in terms of content, asynchronous format, reputation, and affordability. In addition, as a full-time OB-GYN physician, I was able to find time to complete the degree and not feel overwhelmed."

Joel Bohannon

“Everything I have learned has been applicable. Literally, if I learned it in class on Tuesday, I put it in practice on Wednesday. I told my teachers that it’s amazing how relevant the topics are. They have given me the ability to put words and actions to what I was already seeing and doing.”

Andrea Herschelman

“The professors are great. It was daunting because when I first started the MBA without any business background, I thought, ‘Oh, I’ll probably take one class and quit.’ Now, I look forward to each class. They’re all different, but it’s not so hard that you can’t grasp the concept.”

Stevie Lynch

“With the MBA, you can expect that you’re going to learn a lot about a lot of different disciplines, but it’s going to be at a higher level. It helps challenge some of your thinking and understand how all of the different functions relate across business. You’re able to get a little bit of accounting knowledge, a little bit of computer knowledge, a little bit of statistical knowledge — everything you need to know.”
