Testimonials

"The curriculum gave me a greater understanding of the healthcare business cycle which prepared me for the daily challenges I face as a Hospital Administrator today. I used to think like a Finance Manager. Now I'm a healthcare leader."   

Eastern taught me to write like a scholar. As a result—and with God’s favor—I published my first academic monograph, Understanding the Empowerment Phenomenon: Effects of a Pilot Women’s Empowerment Program on Female College Students,* in April 2008.

It is time to give back. If ministry means making a difference in people's lives, then this is certainly ministry.

Entering the MBA program at Eastern and learning how to start this company is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. The actual knowledge I have obtained so far at Eastern has been priceless.  Every thing I have learned through the MBA program, I have applied directly to my company.  I feel so much more equipped to run a business and handle the operations thanks to Eastern.

It was 30 years since I had been at college so it was very concerning  to enter into a commitment that I would have to now fit Eastern into  the busy schedule. This program is the best for the working executive schedule.   The program is geared to a person that has many other commitments to their family, work and community.  I was encouraged to attend Eastern by a past graduate of the program; he relieved me of some of my fears and that it can be done.  Was he ever right!!!  The professors work with each person in the class and make learning a part of your life experience.  Sharing information with people from all areas around the world assisted in my personal growth."

-Vashti Gray, BS in Business Administration

It is very helpful that Eastern has many locations throughout the Philadelphia area. I commute from New Jersey and have found that the center city site is very convenient.  I also like the fact that the program is “job friendly” and geared toward adult learning. The program has made it easy for me to go back to school while working full-time in the healthcare profession.  I love the fact that students are not considered “just a number.” In this program, each student’s views, opinions, and questions are heard. Within the small cohort, we are able to share our experiences and to learn from each other. In this environment, the administration and faculty are available whenever students need to contact them.
