Bachelor of Science - Human Resource Management
Master of Business Administration
One major asset that I gained from my education at UIU, is that professors often encourage critical thinking, and this is one of the major aspects that carries over to the professional field. Upper Iowa has been instrumental in my personal and professional development. Before Upper Iowa I was at a crossroads, in terms of education, but this institution provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime.
