"As a married father of two daughters, juggling life, work and school was a challenge. But the professors at UWF showed care and patience every step of the way. Any questions that I had about projects and homework were always answered in a timely manner. Earning the Human Resources Management Certificate and Management Development Certificate has taught me many valuable lessons that I utilize at my job on a daily basis."
Enoch Walls, Husband, Dad, and Employee at Navy Federal Credit Union
"I enjoy introducing students to useful business concepts and developing individual and team exercises that make learning fun and like solving a mystery. Students roleplay managers, practice modeling, engage in a consensus recommendation, describe insights gained and receive individualized feedback."
Dr. Julie Ann Williams, Professor, Licensed Professional Engineer
"I’m a working professional, and finishing my studies while juggling all my other responsibilities was a big task. I found that the professors that instructed my courses were understanding of my situation and made the process much easier than I originally thought it would be. Many of them worked full time while pursuing their degrees, so they understood where I was coming from."
