Herzing University

I was referred to Herzing University through a friend who was a Herzing graduate student at the time. I would sometimes help him study, and he got me thinking about going back to school. I was in the process of reevaluating my career options, and I decided to pursue my MBA in project management at Herzing.

My classes inspired me to think more critically about my current career and gave me new ideas for how I could approach various projects at my company. Herzing’s courses allowed me to tie what I experienced on the job to what I was learning in the classroom, and much of what I learned has helped me in my career today. In addition, the faculty were always there for me; my professors and advisors really cared about my success and they helped me grow both professionally and academically.

I am currently working at Northwest Exterminating as a Project Coordinator. One of the most important things that I learned while at Herzing is how to run a business effectively and how each team member is important for growth. I am glad to have learned about Herzing and all it has to offer, and I would recommend the school to other professionals who are looking to advance their education and their career.

I was referred to Herzing by a friend, and from my first call to the end of my enrollment, the process was very smooth and stress-free. The staff was not only patient but very helpful during my time here. I’d like to thank Erin, Candy and Lyndsey for their help in particular. All of them were great help with questions I had and answered my emails promptly!

As soon as I heard about Human Resources, I instantly fell in love with the career. The 8-week completion of classes with small breaks in between made this MBA journey go by very quickly, and I loved the pace of the courses. Speaking of which, My Business Law and Human Resources courses were specifically valuable in preparing me for my career because a lot of what I learned I am now implementing at my current employer.

After taking a year off after graduating from my undergraduate program, I thought I would not acclimate quickly toward being a student again, but Herzing made it easy for me. I was surprised how quickly I became adjusted to student life again, despite all the challenges it entails.

I faced two challenges while earning my degree, the first one is accepting a new job position. Beginning a new position can be very challenging and stressful, especially as an HR professional. The second challenge was my mom unexpectedly being admitted to ICU during finals week. Thankfully, I overcame these challenges with my professors who were very understanding and worked with me during these difficult times. The support of not just my family but also my professors is what helped me overcome these challenges, and I’ll never forget that.

Above all, my strength and efforts of wanting to complete my MBA encouraged me to graduate most. My dream is to one day become the greatest Chief Human Resources Officer I can. After graduation, I will be getting promoted to a management position and couldn’t be more excited to be one step closer to my dream!

My advice for other students pursuing a degree in my field is to be patient because hard work truly pays off. There will be courses that will appear harder than others, but everything is possible if the effort is put in. If you have the love and passion for this field, you will not regret the time put into pursuing this career.

I completed my bachelor’s in engineering which gave me basic technical knowledge in my career, and I considered getting a graduate degree in the United States. I wanted to add to my knowledge of the business world without requiring a lot of job experience. That is why I decided to get my MBA from Herzing.

The MBA degree at Herzing is fast-paced and packed full of useful information. I learned that to make yourself more marketable in the corporate world, you should make sure your skills and expertise are in line with your field of study.

Landing a good job was a challenge for me, especially being an international student with little connections. However, the skills I acquired from Herzing University helped me network with the right employers. I am working as a Business Analyst, and I hope to get some certifications done to help me move up the corporate ladder.

I have worked for Wells Fargo for 10 years, and I decided to pursue my MBA a few years ago to help advance my career. After encountering some challenges with my previous school, I was ready to give up. But, then I found Herzing. Having a family and a full-time job while going to school was challenging, but Herzing restored my faith that it was possible.

Herzing’s MBA program taught me to think critically and strategically. My instructors had experience that brought a real-world feel to the classes, and they helped me understand how I could apply classroom learnings in the workplace. Since graduating from the MBA program, I have become a better leader and manager within my organization. I am a learner at heart, and I feel like my education at Herzing will make a difference in how I manage my career going forward.

At Herzing, I always felt supported. My instructors and advisors really got to know me. I was not just a name or another voice on the phone; I was a person. A new class never went by without my advisor checking in with me and making sure that I had everything that I needed to be successful. That made all the difference.

I went back to school because I wanted to set a positive example for my daughter, and I walked across the commencement stage before she started kindergarten. I am incredibly proud to say that I am a Herzing graduate and I have no doubt that my degree and the great experience that I had at Herzing will support my long-term career success.

In China, I had majored in International Economics and Trade, so I chose to complete my MBA at Herzing University through their international program.

The first couple of months were tough for me since English is not my first language. It was also my first-time having class in an English-speaking atmosphere. The professors were nice and patient with me, and they gave me guidance and suggestions so that I could adjust and learn classroom procedures. As time went on, I really came to enjoy my classes. I learned a lot while at Herzing and made lots of wonderful friends along the way!

After graduation, I stayed another year for optional practice training (OPT) and received a couple of job offers, but ultimately decided to return to China where I am now working in Shanghai.

My advice to students is to always be enthusiastic both in school and during daily life! You’d be surprised how strongly everyday events can impact you and your future.

Business has always been something that interested me, so when I found Herzing’s MBA program, I knew it was right for me. While all the staff were helpful, those in the International Student Department really deserve a shout-out. They showed me that I could do it and helped me every step of the way.

Initially, I found that looking for a job was a challenge. Thankfully, Herzing was there to help me with suggestions on how I could fix my resume. They gave me tips and helped me edit my resume so that I could stand out better in the job market. It paid off — I managed to land a job as a Manager Assistant in a warehouse company.

I’m so happy I came to Herzing. It was a great way for me to learn the English language, gain experience in another country’s work culture and I got a wonderful education while doing so!
