I have mixed feelings regarding the time I spent at Harding and these only become more intense as I see my children grow older. Some of the best experiences of my life were at Harding but some of the greatest failures I have experienced were during this period. Harding is going to give you the same opportunities you will find anywhere in life and then some. YOU decide what to make of any situation and YOU alone will determine the success of the experiences you face if you attend Harding.

Although there will be some to disagree, academically the credentials of the University are well documented and the degree I received was exactly what I needed to reach my career goals. The professors in the School of Business are more than willing to work with students and almost all have more to offer than just academic theory. From my experiences they were successful in their own rights outside the walls of academic pontification and this should be of interest to those looking for a mentor and someone who will share practical skills to succeed in business.
