Students in the Military
 Chris Cook is an officer in the United States Navy. Immediately preceding his acceptance into Kelley Direct, he completed the Striker Fighter Weapons and Tactics Instructor course (also known as Top Gun training) in preparation for his role as a standardization officer in the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center. Chris credits the flexibility of Kelley Direct for his ability to successfully juggle such a demanding career with a world-class MBA program. Chris Cook |
Corporations consistently identify the MBA as a key component in building effective leadership competency. Increasingly, the military has adopted a similar view. To create future leaders, the military sees the MBA as a critical step on the road to a successful military career.
The flexibility of Kelley Direct makes it possible for military personnel stationed around the world to pursue their education. As word of Kelley's high quality, highly flexible MBA program continues to spread, the number of service members enrolled continues to grow.
"Two years ago, I knew I wanted to get my MBA, but I wasn't sure how I as going to manage it. My roommate from The Academy mentioned something about online programs. I searched online, and it soon became clear that Kelley Direct was the best choice.
All of my classes at Kelley Direct have been set up to allow the best possibility for success. I have always enjoyed the full support of the faculty and staff. Even after September 11, when I was unexpectedly deployed for several months and found Internet access and email routinely secured, I worked through the difficulties, as did the professors.
I am extremely happy with the program and would highly recommend it to military personnel who wish to earn an MBA while on active duty. Lt. Bryan J. Roach, Class of '02, U.S. Naval Academy."
