"It's hard enough to get an MBA, but the real challenge is to apply what you learn in class to your business. The difference the EMBA makes is the direct applicability to your professional life."

“The PMBA program exceeded my expectations. Upon graduation, I was immediately offered a position at another company for much higher compensation. I chose that over promotion with my current employer. The impact that UCF’s PMBA program had on my career was evident. I felt a great sense of accomplishment by obtaining the degree—and was rewarded by the job market at the same time.”

"UCF's Professional MBA program provides the optimal classroom experience. In addition to learning from outstanding faculty, I greatly benefited from the real life examples shared by other working professionals in my cohort. I finished the PMBA program with a strong academic foundation and an equally strong professional network of peers."

“The PMSM cohort experience provided a place to share experiences, both personally and professionally. By the end of the program, lasting friendships and professional networks were formed not only with classmates, but also professors, faculty and staff.”

"Earning my UCF Executive MBA has been one of the most transformative events in my life—both professionally and personally. The program delivered the perfect complement to my Public Relations background by providing a challenging yet safe ‘laboratory’ to sharpen my business acumen. What I gained has served me far beyond the classroom and boardroom—I developed skills, as well as deep and lasting relationships throughout our growing community. This degree has given me the knowledge and confidence to earn—and keep—my seat at the table."

“I had been a commercial real estate professional for 30+ years when I enrolled in PMRE. I can attest to the validity and value of the program, as I now practice my profession on a higher intellectual level. My fellow graduates and I highly—and unanimously—recommend the program to those who desire to improve their knowledge and understanding of the real estate industry.”

“The PMBA Program at UCF is truly a program tailored for the working professional.   The faculty understood the demand brought on by your professional career and were reasonable in accommodating your request.  The professors selected for the program were among the top professors in the field with both educational and in the field experience.   Overall, it was a great program and very convenient for the cohorts to participate in.  If only the Executive Center would offer a PhD program with similar attributes...”

“I acquired skills and knowledge that could be directly applied within the workplace. My leaders recognized my professional growth and shortly after graduation rewarded me with a substantial merit pay increase. A few months ago, I was given the opportunity to lead the development and implementation of the first 5-year Strategic Plan for my company. During this effort, I continuously found myself rifling through textbooks and class notes to revisit topics aptly taught by the professors.”

 "I received a promotion during my participation in the Professional MBA. I am positive that my learning from the program helped set me apart and land the role. I am so glad I decided to participate in the PMBA program. "
