[upbeat music] ♪ - The MBA program has probably tripled in size over the last four or five years.

Students come here, they have a good experience, they are well prepared for what comes next.

We also offer practical experiences and cooperate with the Small Business Technology Development Center here at Fayetteville State to align students or set students up with specific businesses to work on real business problems.

[upbeat music] - I go through this program, and I learned more about business in this academy than I had through like the rest of my previous education.

And it's because you got to see it all interacting with one another.

And you're not just talking about it in theory, but you're seeing it in a system, and seeing how one piece influences another, so how production influences finance, how that influences transportation management, et cetera.

It was fascinating to me that it's kind of like the nervous system of the body, if an organization was a body, and finance is interesting to me because you have to have a good head on your shoulders to do it, and I enjoy problem solving.

And a lot of the work we do is usually figuring out a puzzle.

- It's never ending.

It continues to evolve.

We have to be flexible and always willing to adapt and learn very quickly.

The Broadwell College of Business and Economics at Fayetteville State University is an awesome program.

And I am so thankful that Mann and Hummel has fostered a relationship, so that we can offer internship opportunities so that the students will have real work experiences before they graduate from the university.
