Career Change at Owen

Experience during the program

I came to Owen looking to change careers, and found that there were a great deal of opportunities to take classes I wanted not only for the specific concentrations that applied, but also a wide range of courses in other areas as well. The program really allows for students to become well-rounded in a number of areas if they choose. The size of the program was also great, as I got to know my 175 classmates well while also being able to get to know the classes ahead and behind me as well. With this size of a group, there are enough people coming from the industries and functions that anyone would be interested in that they can aid in networking, while still maintaining an intimate classroom setting.
