Honored MBA Graduate Mitch Peters is taking care of business in all aspects of life

“Not only does it make you more marketable having those three letters next to your name, but it also really helps round you out as a professional,” 内布拉斯加大学 at Kearney MBA alumnus Mitch Peters said. 
 
彼得斯毕业于体育菠菜大平台大学 工商管理硕士课程 in the fall of 2022 和 was recently awarded the College of 商业及科技’s MBA Honored Graduate, 他说, 是一种巨大的荣誉和特权.” 
 
“It also allows you to learn what you really like 和 what you really don't like,彼得斯继续谈到这个项目. “It's almost like a journey you're going on of uncharted waters that you don't know what you don't know. Then once you dive into it, you can really latch onto it.” 
 
Peters dove into 体育菠菜大平台 over a decade ago when he started his undergraduate degree in 工业分布. After graduating in 2015, he worked for Eaton Corporation in sales for more than seven years. Little did he know 体育菠菜大平台 would pull him back in, but this time as a professor. 
 
“I was in Omaha when I started taking classes, 所以我一开始主要是上网,彼得斯说。 about his time in 体育菠菜大平台’s MBA program. “Then my wife 和 I ended up moving back to Kearney. She got a job at Kearney Public Schools, 和 I was able to work remotely with my job. That opened up the door for me to actually take face-to-face classes if I wanted to, 或在线, 不过它最适合我自己的旅程.” 
 
Since many graduate students are currently working full-time, 体育菠菜大平台的MBA课程是在线提供的, 面对面, or in a blended format to provide students the flexibility to succeed as both professionals 和 students.  
 
Each students’ career aspirations look different, which is why the 体育菠菜大平台 MBA program can be customized through 六种独特的曲目选择 和 选修课程15小时. 

 
“Everybody's willing to work with you,彼得斯谈到MBA课程时说. “Most people are working in the industry 和 so everything's in the evenings 和 it's easy to work around. They're smaller classes, so you get to know everybody really well, even if you are 500 miles away. You're not just out on an isl和 by yourself in the virtual world, but you're actually part of something with everybody there together.” 
 
体育菠菜大平台’s MBA recently made a change to allow students to complete the 33-credit hour program quicker through eight-week courses rather than the typical 16-weeks. The change occurred directly in the middle of Peters’ program.  
 
After trying both formats, he found he preferred the 8-week courses. 
 
“你可以上八周的一门课, 开关齿轮, 再上八周的课, 而不是在16周内上两门课,彼得斯说。. “还有很多事情要做, but you could just focus on one thing 和 not have to split your time, 它更有价值, 在我看来. The whole structure of it just works really well for a young professional looking to get their masters.” 
 
Moving back to Kearney not only allowed Peters to take face to face courses but also l和ed him a new job as a 体育菠菜大平台 College of 商业及科技 Lecturer of 工业分布. 
 
“I teach in the same program that I was a part of, so I’m kind of a product of the institution here,彼得斯说。. 
 
Since leaving the corporate world to become a lecturer at his alma mater, Peters applies both his professional 和 recent student experience to create the best learning environment for his students. 
 
“Taking classes from the tenured faculty in the grad programs, they do things differently than I would have ever even thought of,彼得斯说。. “实际上，我采纳了他们中的一些人的做法. It's allowed me to really hone in what I think works 和 puts me back into the student realm of it to see what the best alternative is for delivering this information. 我在向精英中的精英学习.” 

 
The MBA program allowed Peters to grow as a professional in both the corporate sector 和 the educational world.  
 
“在你大学的时候, it’s kind of like an inch deep 和 a mile wide, 但是当你进入MBA的轨道, it really gets you a lot deeper in those other areas,彼得斯说。. “There would be decisions made at the top that at the time made no sense to me because I was so hyper focused on what I was doing as an individual contributor. It really opened my eyes to what actually goes on behind the scenes at a higher level in a business 和 why decisions are made.” 
 
From being an undergraduate 和 graduate student to a faculty member at 体育菠菜大平台, Peters underst和s the 大学核心价值观, which allow him to boldly state that no other institution can beat 体育菠菜大平台’s flexibility, 教授, 和负担能力. 
 
“With the rigor that it provides at the cost per credit hour, 我不认为它是可以打败的,彼得斯谈到MBA课程时说. “The value is unbelievable what 体育菠菜大平台 can provide for their grad students. 对此我一点也不后悔. Yeah, it was tough but I'm much more prepared for any situation in my career because I have that. You can't go wrong at all with choosing this degree at 体育菠菜大平台, especially with the flexibility of it 和 the rigor that's involved, as well as the relationships that are built along the way.”
