Thoughts From Kent State's MBA Professors

"For graduates [of Kent State's MBA program], they already have a managerial title and position, and they generally get a promotion in a year or two. The executive MBA program is the crown jewel in my opinion, we attract the top talent, and our students do very well after they complete our program. Also, having a vast alumni network as we do helps our graduates." - Dr. Ilgaz Arikan, Professor

"I was not interested in teaching until I was pursuing my master's degree. During that time, I developed my love of learning and a teaching and research career is the perfect choice for me. Kent State University offers a balanced opportunity to pursue my interests in teaching and research. Being a university professor provides me with the opportunities to explore research questions that I am interested in and to share my excitement about research with my students." -Dr. Indranini Laksmana, Professor
