EDUCATION WITH IMPACT
One of the main reasons I decided on NDMU is the tight-knit community that the school offers. The smaller classes have allowed for building close professor-student relationships. Throughout my four years, NDMU has created many opportunities for student engagement. I was awarded an internship at Rio Grande during my senior year, which has allowed me to better understand the area of business I’d like to pursue. After graduation, I plan on furthering my studies by getting an MBA.
