Allison Paxson '24, Professional MBA

"After being away from the classroom for many years, it’s easy to think you know everything about the working world, but I was eager to return and gain the knowledge I needed to shape my future, which led me to the TCU Neeley Professional MBA program. I gained valuable, real-world knowledge from professors who weren’t just academics, but active industry professionals bringing firsthand experience into the classroom."
