Sarah Allsup

MBA - Marketing

Sarah Allsup has a degree in Communication Studies and Business from Southwestern University. She works at the UNT Libraries External Relations Department which handles marketing and communications. She worked previously in business administration for large Dallas non-profits organizations.

Sarah opted in for an MBA because she wanted to expand upon her undergrad experience and learn more about her current professional field. Her favorite thing about choosing the online MBA at UNT was the inclusivity and flexibility that it offered her. “My first graduate class was online and I was worried that I wouldn’t enjoy the format, or miss the community feeling you get in a physical classroom. I found that the online classes are just as inclusive and inviting as being in a classroom with the added bonus of the flexibility to set my own schedule to meet weekly assignment deadlines”.

She loved the class on Consumer Behavior where she took a deeper look at the purchasing habits of herself and those around her and discovered how marketing worked in life in ways she had never realized. She said, “I continue to learn more not just about the Marketing profession, but how business concepts are incorporated into day to day life outside of their applications in my career”.

Sarah’s advice to prospective students is for them to find their tempo. “There are a million suggestions of how, why, and where to pursue an MBA but your inner drive is the most important force in helping you succeed in the MBA program”.
