What our Students Say

It was especially important to me that if I were to take a weekend program, I would not be away from my family every weekend. This was one of the top deciding factors for me.”

—Scott Hirni | Oracle Corp

I searched for a brick and mortar school, since online schools are still frowned upon in the finance industry, that would work with my schedule.  Since I work in DC, George Washington, George Mason and Shenandoah were my options (I live in Winchester).  A friend that received his MBA from Shenandoah referred me here.  After speaking with the counselor and the benefits of not having to take a GMAT, I decided to register and give it a shot.”

—Andre Guardino | Freddie Mac Finance Management

I very much valued the small classroom sizes and access to the professors.” 

—Deborah Inaba, ‘14 | Exercise Physiologist for Valley Health
