“I was able to complete my MBA while continuing to work as an Occupational Therapist in western Kansas. The professors and university allowed me to accomplish a personal goal to aid in my professional development in Healthcare Administration.” — Kyle Ahlenstorf ’22
“Avila University’s program was a great choice for me. I always used to say I was a ‘letters gal’ because I was too afraid to dive deep into the numbers that I didn’t know I enjoyed so much. I will always have Avila to thank for awakening that financial passion that was within me all along.”
— Ada Castro-Madrid ’20
