-The program was awesome. I was very nervous about starting the program but the caliber of the students, support staff, and the professors really encouraged me. Every semester I became more confident and by the final semester I was able to complete an entrepreneurial project alone. I could not have completed this program without the support of my study group and the encouragement of the professors. Everyone was very responsive to my questions. It was like being part of a huge family where everyone helped you and encouraged you to be the best you can. I would recommend COX EMBA to all my friends. It is a huge investment for my future and I am looking forward to using my skills as an entrepreneur or a C-level leader.
