“I am forever grateful for this platform that allowed me to enroll in such a highly recognized and respected institution of learning. The extensive and diverse course catalog caused WSU to stand above the rest of the available online options. As a result of finishing my degree—taking a rather “scenic route” to do so—I secured a promotion at work…” | Read more from Kevin Madden
I had gone to college after high school, starting in Fall 1979. I kept changing my major and after 195 credits and no degree, I faded out of school and into married life. In 1997, life changed again and I was entering a new, unanticipated phase…” | Read more from Karen Whalen
“I began WSU’s Online MBA program in 2019 after completing my first year at Microsoft as a technical seller on the Microsoft Education team.
