The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina

“The MBA program offers top notch instruction and coursework that has given me very broad and in depth knowledge, which I was able to apply in my current job from the very beginning.”

“I chose to attend The Citadel because of its reputation, flexibility for those who work full time, and as veteran, I appreciate The Citadel’s ongoing involvement in assisting those who have served our country.”

“Being able to see my family every day as part of my professional life is not something I have taken for granted, and The Citadel Graduate College has been an essential part of fulfilling our dreams as family, both professionally and personally.”

“With all the time we have invested in having a family business, it was essential that the MBA program be flexible. We have busy lives already – one daughter, and another on the way – and while adding school onto trying to grow a business seemed like a daunting task, The Citadel Graduate College has allowed me to take less or more classes as needed to adjust to that schedule. For instance, I can take time off after the birth of our second daughter, or even change classes to be online while we navigate busy family and professional days.”

“My wife and myself are now the proud owners of Methodride, an indoor cycle studio in Mt. Pleasant, SC. She has provided the creative vision, the look, feel and atmosphere, whereas I provide the technical knowledge, such as monitoring sales, cash flows, accounting, etc. – all skills I learned through The Citadel’s MBA program.”

“However, I found it difficult to mimic his success. I had no idea how to begin to do the ins and outs of running a business on our own. I am happy to say The Citadel Graduate College has provided the technical knowledge I did not have, and now we have started a family business of our own.”

“I chose to enroll in The Citadel’s MBA program to expand my knowledge to try my hand at running a business with my family. My father is a successful entrepreneur, and having always looked up to his business and how he handles himself was inspiring.”

“Although I haven’t completed the program yet, I’ve already benefitted substantially as a program manager by regularly applying key business skills and business acumen I’ve learned via The Citadel MBA program including: accounting, business law, leadership, effective communication, management, marketing, and finance.  With a near-term goal of securing an executive leadership position or mid-term goal of starting a consulting business in Engineering / Software Technologies, I am confident The Citadel MBA program has prepared me fully to achieve these goals.”

“The Citadel MBA program attracts a diverse network of people with broad professional experience and backgrounds, which contributes to a unique learning experience that parallels modern business practices and business-to-business relationships today.  Through the myriad of group assignments, exercises, and projects, The Citadel MBA program mimics real world business collaboration, networking, and professional good will.”

“Joining the Honors Program has been one of the best decisions I have made while at The Citadel. The Honors Program has immersed me into a challenging environment where I received more than an education. I was surrounded by the best professors whose mission was to develop me as a student and a leader. Not only does the Honors Program challenge you through a strenuous academic program, but it teaches you how to set yourself apart from others. In conclusion, I have much respect for the Program and commend those who are a part of it.”

“Being in the Honors Program at The Citadel was one of the best decisions I made as a cadet. The small classes and group discussions were exactly what I wanted and allowed me to flourish as a student. It also helped me tremendously when it came time for applying to post-graduate opportunities like medical school and the Fulbright Program.”

“What one finds in the Honors Program is the very best of an already outstanding Citadel education. I count my experiences in the Honors Program, both in and outside of the classroom, as one of the key opportunities of my time at The Citadel. I would encourage anyone who has earned the privilege of participating in this program to do so.”

“The Honors Program was hands down the biggest factor in my success at The Citadel. Without the Program, I would not be the person I am today. I was provided with opportunity, support, and relationships that I will never forget.”

“The Citadel is all about challenging yourself. In the Honors Program, you are challenged mentally, to apply your thinking to the real world. I’ve met some of my best friends through the Program, and being in a program with such like-minded people gave me confidence I needed to know that The Citadel takes education seriously. Some of The Citadel’s most prestigious cadets hail from the Honors Program – and it’s for a reason. Come experience it yourself.”

“In considering the great learning opportunities offered by The Citadel, I know of no other program that prepares a student for academic and leadership success like The Citadel’s Honors Program.”

“The Citadel’s Honors Program certainly played a pivotal role in my academic and personal development at The Citadel. The combination of high quality intellectual exercise and friendship with professors was enriching and rewarding. The extensive writing requirements prepared me well for my current profession and future graduate study.”

“The Honors Program is what enabled me to take this road less traveled at The Citadel. I expected the program to be a group of intelligent and energetic people, but I did not expect to meet some of my best friends from The Citadel in it. The Honors Program truly enhanced my Citadel journey. I am very fortunate to call myself a member of such a welcoming and disciplined group of people.”

“The Honors Program helped me find my closest friends and has pushed me to be better throughout my time here. It’s provided a space for me to learn and explore, and it is a true community of motivated students. I have traveled with the Honors Program all throughout the east coast presenting research. The professors make the biggest difference, going above and beyond to help out and provide mentorship.”

“I learned project management principles that I could apply to my job the next day. I found that extremely valuable! I also enjoyed networking and making friends in the program—I now feel part of The Citadel Community!”
