Linda Campanella, BS

As a entrepreneur, I wanted to enroll into the ME program to enhance my business skills. I received more than I expected. I increased my strategy and leadership skills beyond all expectations. I owe this to the Drs. Carland. Thank you for the positive change of a life time.

Chuck Bartlett, ME

I would highly recommend being under the tutelage of Drs. Jim and JoAnn Carland. I was pleasantly surprised that I was not receiving warmed over theory from professors who had never done what they taught. It was not just about getting a piece of paper. Learning from the Carlands and the books that they actually write based on real world experience and continually evolving theory, was another great experience that pushes me forward to be a successfully wealthy entrepreneur. They are also great resources and networkers who can open doors for students.
