“As a sales executive, the management theory and methodology helped bring things I could improve into focus. Every class I took provided something relevant,” Pelletier said. “The curriculum also gave me a better perspective on work done in the past when I didn’t know the complete picture.”

Earning her undergraduate degree in economics at UCLA prior to the rise of online learning, she found the interaction in the MBA@Nebraska program both surprising and beneficial.

“I was amazed by the sense of community in an online program and the connections I made with faculty and classmates from around the world,” she said. “The class dialogue around diversity, leadership and global business was so helpful. The responsiveness and engagement were wonderful.”
