TESU gave me the bachelor’s degree I never thought I’d have. That’s why I came back for my DBA."

It was great. The cohort, we all worked together, and the mentors were very engaged in making us successful in the program."

The convenience of it is amazing. It makes life so much easier when you can go at your own pace."

It was a long, hard road... but at the end of the day, this was so fulfilling."

I really wanted it, and I did it."

I would recommend to anyone who wants to go back to school to really take a look at Thomas Edison."
