We`re still buzzing about our Online MBA program being ranked No. 15 by The Princeton Review! Read some highlights of what our students told The Princeton Review about the program in survey responses.
Peyton Carrington joined the Jenkins MBA Program simply looking to prepare for a career in business. After several internships, she realized that her true passion was working with leaders to solve challenges and improving employee experiences, and she realized that human resources was the career for her.
Her moment of clarity came during an internship with the Savannah Bananas, during a discussion about how to optimize costs while improving the employee experience.
With her MBA and business leadership certificate in hand, she’s started her new career as an HR Graduate Leadership Development Program associate at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
“I`m incredibly grateful to my family, professors, mentors, classmates, colleagues and the Career Services at NC State Poole for supporting me throughout this journey,” says Peyton.
Thanks for sharing your story, Peyton! We’re grateful for great alumni like you!
