"WVU will ALWAYS be my home among the hills!"
Corey Edmonds chose WVU Online because he was a busy working professional and it allowed him to further his education without having to sacrifice the career progress that he had already made.
"The MHA online program is designed for working professionals and is very student-centric. Now that I have graduated from an online program, I recognize that there are so many benefits that you often don't experience in on-campus courses."
"Since graduating, I have continued to move up the career ladder within my organization with future growth opportunities aplenty."
Corey says the Master of Health Administration prepared him for his career by equipping him with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform confidently and efficiently as a healthcare administrator.
"In my professional life, the skill that I have found most useful is my ability to look at things through a very subjective lens," he says.
"The temptation to submit to your knee-jerk reactions and emotions is often too much to overcome. My education at WVU has taught me to be very subjective and to make sure I do my research so that I can make well-informed decisions."
