Between job, family, civic and charitable responsibilities, I had always rationalized why I could not find time to earn my master's degree. Now with the Mount's accelerated MBA program I felt the opportunity was put right in my lap. With an understanding family, convenient location (Frederick), and professors who are available and willing to work with your business schedule, it seemed that the timing was right for the challenge. I have now completed my fourth MBA class, and being one of the older students (45), I have found the classes interesting and informative. The new accelerated format does not necessarily make it easier to earn your degree; just more attainable.
