Rachel Alley-Wallace

MBA - Business Studies

Rachel completed a BS in Communication Sciences and Disorders and also MS in Speech-Language Pathology at Texas Woman's University. In her career, she has cared for neonates, children and adults in the acute care setting with special interest in evaluation and treatment of swallowing disorders.

She chose UNT for her MBA because of its AACSB accreditation and reputation for excellence. UNT provided her the opportunity to customize a degree plan that fits her specific career goals with the guidance of experienced and attentive faculty.

Getting an MBA has been memorable for Rachel. In her words, “As I worked alongside students from a wide variety of industries early in my coursework, my mind was opened to the universality of business. This helped me to reject my previous notion of healthcare as being such a hopelessly unique industry and renewed my hope that the challenges inherent in the business of healthcare can be overcome with innovation and collaboration. Although it is a difficult endeavor for those who have already devoted their lives and work to studying and serving in healthcare, those who are able to reach further for the ideal care of patients and their families would be more effective if they studied business. Healthcare workers can lead and improve the industry of healthcare.”
