MBA - Strategic Management

My name is William Harrington, I completed my B.S. in Mathematics at UNT with minors in Secondary STEM Education and Public Administration in 2016. In 2018 I graduated with my M.Ed in Educational Leadership – also at UNT – to eventually become a principal. Now I am currently enrolled in the MBA program in Strategic Management to one day realize my ambitious goal of opening up my own secondary school. I am currently in my 4th year of teaching high school Math and Business. I’ve taught in both Texas (Lewisville ISD & Coppell ISD) and Connecticut (Windham Public Schools). I chose UNT solely for the reason of continuing my UNT legacy! I already have 2 degrees from UNT, might as well stay home and keep going! I am even thinking of doing the same for my Ph.D in Education.

My most memorable experience here at UNT is learning from the amazing professors! Special shout out to Dr. Hancock and Dr. BarNir for being amazing professors! My favorite course in the entire program BY FAR is Entrepreneurship and Venture Management. The class really fits well with my goals and ideas. Being able to think critically, creatively, flexibly, and on your feet is what is crucial to succeeding in any sector in education – especially when you are starting a business or organization from square 1.

My advice for prospective students is simply be open minded and creative. You’re going to learn classic concepts of Business, but you’re also going to dive into more contemporary views, practices, methodologies, and theories. There is no “right” way to conduct business, so just take in anything and everything you can to make the most of your experience at UNT and for the sake of your future!
