Hear it straight from our MBA graduates:

“Not only has the Wilkes University MBA program allowed me to gain invaluable hands-on consulting experience with local businesses, but more importantly it has provided me the opportunity to build lifelong relationships. I'm not talking about networking, I'm talking about really connecting with fellow students and faculty. I'm talking about the access to people who can help me make more of myself and more importantly, others!”
Glen Lawless M’09 Marketing Consultant

“The Wilkes Univeristy MBA program was a wonderful experience that prepared me for my career and also taught me how to network, form business relationships as well as negotiate. The valuable lessons I learned from not only my teachers, but also classmates were pivotal in my career development and are still applied today.” Eva Nasilowski ’04 Pharmaceutical Sales Representative

“I have competed in the world of finance at many levels, as a corporate controller with a small company, as a manager of corporate finance at a mid-sized corporation and as a divisional controller with a Fortune 500 company. Never have I felt at a disadvantage in competing with other business professionals during my career in finance. The lessons learned from Wilkes academicians later proved to be invaluable as I grew as a manager and businessman.”
Rick T. Simonson M’78 Investment Advisor

“I used the knowledge gained in the MBA program in my employment as an accountant and human resource professional for several years before I decided to start teaching on the college level. The background I received in Accounting and Finance were instrumental in making me qualified to teach at LCCC for the last 17 years. My MBA from Wilkes gave me the opportunity and the confidence to do what I love – teach on the college level.”
Kathy Heltzel M’85 Associate Professor, Accounting and Business

“The Wilkes MBA program created a strong foundation for my business career development.  The flexibility of the program allowed me to manage my education as well as a full-time sales job.  I especially enjoyed sharing real business experiences with students from various industries and specialties. The Wilkes MBA program provided me with the confidence and business skills to achieve my professional and personal goals."
