This is awesome! Congratulations on the achievements you have thus far and good luck in the rest of your MBA journey! It is a fun journey albeit a difficult one. I am 4 courses away from completing my MBA. I will be taking 3 classes in Spring 2019 and will take my last course in the Summer 2019. Should be done around the 1st week of June and I cannot wait!

Congrats on all your hard work paying off! Keep at it and get those last 4 classes done! Smile

Thanks for all the support guys!

Another class down; Statistics 95.55%

Heading overseas for the summer and enjoying a much needed break with my family. Will report back for the Fall Semester. Keep at it guys!

Another class down guys. This semester nearly killed me... moved across the country, new job, daughter was born, death in the family. It was really hard... healthcare management elective was completed at 87%.

I was without a computer for 4-5 weeks and bombed my first test. I ended up finishing out okay but this is now my second B in grad school which doesn’t feel good.

Keep working hard guys you all can do this! Next class in spring. Taking winter to spend with my wife and kids.

Thanks! My MBA path isn’t exactly quick but it’s coming along. My goal is graduation in 2020.  Smile

Quick update... my summer is about to be ruined but I’ll be done. I’m receiving some pressure from work to get my grad degree done. This morning I registered for the last of my classes. This will be an extremely difficult summer but if everything goes well I should be done.

I won’t lie, I’m pretty scared about how this summer is going to go. I work a full time job, have two kids, wife, etc. That being said work has agreed to give me extra time when needed for school, and I’ve got family support to help my wife with the extra work with the kids while I attack the last of this degree over summer. Here’s the game plan...

Summer 1:
Acct/Decision Making
Fin Mgt Healthcare
Capstone (I meet the credit requirement to take this)

Summer 2:
Info Tech Mgt
Data Analytics

Wish me luck guys. I am scared since the summer semester pace is very very fast/difficult. That being said I think suffering for 10 weeks is a lot better than ragging the degree out one class at a time through spring 2021.

Yeah that’s definitely a good feeling. I’m still feeling the pressure but it does show that they see potential in me as an employee. It would be nice to be done by the end of summer anyway so I can enjoy this next holiday season with family/friends not worrying about class deadlines. 

Suffering for 10-12 weeks will be tough but that’s an average semester anyway. Might as well suck it up and knock it out!  Big Grin

Hell yes, I totally agree with this, I rather get as much done as possible and as soon as possible. Good luck!
