    "Working full time leaves little room for much else – However, the MBA program at Columbia College has allowed me the opportunity to earn my Master’s in one year with ease and flexibility. Considering classes are held one weekend a month I can complete my Master’s quickly and without the added stress of weekday classes. I am thrilled to see the doors this degree will open once I graduate!"  Emily Smith, '20
