“By expanding my education beyond the borders of my state, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with peers from all over the world. With a hectic job and three small children at home, this program has enabled me to work around my schedule without having to drive to a local college campus. The ability to study wherever I need to is great. I did homework after I tucked my kids in, while on vacation, and even on a band trip. Studying at Boston University with their esteemed faculty has been an honor.”-Nathan Morrissey, CFA ‘13 Clatonia, NE
