Begin Your Journey Take the Next Step
One of the questions that MBA candidates often ask is, “Is an MBA worth it?” In addition to the cost, there is the challenge of balancing work and family commitments with coursework. You might be wondering if an MBA will help you advance your career or go in a new direction, or if it will just be a line on your resume.
Good news: an MBA is proven to be worth your investment of time and resources. The MBA is the graduate degree of choice for most employers, both in the U.S. and internationally.
But it’s about more than just a degree. Employers want to hire someone who works well in a team setting, and who can deliver results. The MBA program at Sacred Heart will prepare you to be that person.

The experiences of our recent MBA graduates illustrate the value of a Sacred Heart MBA
One of my proudest personal accomplishments is completing the MBA program from the Jack Welch College of Business & Technology at Sacred Heart University. Being able to work full time while also obtaining a degree allowed me the flexibility to grow both academically and professionally through obtaining new knowledge and business sense while refining the skills that I use every day at work. Many of the exercises and business case reviews had direct correlation to my work while providing me with the ability to become a more well-rounded business professional and advanced my career at Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. The relationships that I crafted over the term of the program provided me with a network of like-minded professionals striving towards the career goals that I have set for myself. I highly recommend Sacred Heart to anyone looking to participate in a practical, fulfilling and comprehensive MBA program. The program has provided me with the knowledge and skills to be a meaningful contributor in the workforce while continuing my professional development. An MBA from Sacred Heart provides the resources, network and potential for advancement that makes it a long-term investment that will pay for years to come!
It is never too late to start something new. After taking time to raise my family, I chose to re-imagine my career with an MBA from Sacred Heart University because their program seemed much more dynamic and relevant compared to other schools. It also offered flexible concentrations that suited my interests. Based on my initial experience with admissions, I knew right from the start that I made a great choice. My favorite part of my education came from the projects I did while working in teams. The work we created together was much more powerful than what I could have accomplished on my own. It added another layer of learning that has been very valuable. It also solidified the bonds I made with my fellow students and professors. I was also assigned a career coach who fully prepared and advised me all throughout my job search. Because of this help, I landed a job that I thought I could only dream about.
