“The Ryan College of Business really helped me become who I am in my profession. The courses were very applicable to all areas, and I use everything, for the most part, in my day to day work. Whether it be learning effective communication, learning Office programs, basics of accounting, finance, law and real estate I use all of it. The Real Estate Program in particular is where I gained most of my education. The program really focuses on very hands-on material rather than learning from a textbook. The abundance of opportunities the program provided (career fairs, sponsored events and networking opportunities) helped me gain confidence and network with industry professionals that I can reach out and do business with still today.”
