Diana Cullen, Professional MBA '18

"With the Professional MBA, I can balance work and classes at my pace. The program allows me to work full-time during the day and attend classes in the evenings or on weekends. I also enjoy volunteering and traveling with my husband, and I was afraid I'd have to sacrifice too much out of my life to pursue an MBA. In this program, I can get an MBA and still have an active lifestyle!"
