Marywood has amazingly knowledgeable professors in marketing and business in general. I started the program as student and I graduated as a professional marketer. The environment I experienced was just great. When I started my degree, my English was far from perfect, but I didn't have any difficulties in classes. While participating or working with my classmates, even though I was older than other students, it didn't make a difference, at Marywood age is just a number. My classmates were helpful and teachers were unbelievably amazing. Now I am back home and have started my new career in Saudi Telecom Company, the biggest telecom company in Middle East. Thanks to Marywood community!
