Elon’s RTP location makes it easy to work a full day and attend class in the evening. The facility provides topnotch meeting spaces, as well as snacks and drinks that are much appreciated after work. Classrooms are hightech, well laid out and have comfortable seating and work space. I work 45-50 hours a week, am recently married and have many personal interests outside of work. Elon’s MBA program structure allows me to balance all aspects of life and the RTP campus is why I’m able to work towards an MBA.

MICHAEL STRICKLAND ’22Managing Consultant, PROACTIVE

The program is exceeding my expectations. Certainly, I have learned key concepts from my professors and the coursework, but most importantly I have learned immensely from other students. Their backgrounds range from HR professionals and program managers, to finance analysts and attorneys and even entrepreneurs. Having such a great group of mid-career professionals to discuss how theory translates to personal successes and failures has deepened my understanding of the context, not just the content of the coursework.

RYNITA JULIEN ’22Director, Information Technology, Biogen

During my time in the Elon MBA program, I was given the opportunity to study abroad and interact with business in an international context. This was a very impactful experience for me, and began my journey of networking with international companies and creating contacts in cities all over the world. Ultimately, my Elon MBA was the catalyst that gave me the opportunity to be working in Dubai as a regional operations manager.
