Everglades University

I came here to get my degree in business administration so that I could own my own business, and I wanted to make sure I learn how to do it right. The location of the Tampa campus is perfect for me because it is close to where I live. I like that Everglades Tampa offers smaller class sizes. So far, my experience has been great. I love my speech professor and my class. I have had a great time presenting, and that is something I have not been comfortable with. I think it is because it is a small class....

After working as a machine shop lead for 17 years in engineering, I shifted to the office manager position at my wife’s pediatric office because I was good with QuickBooks and accounting. I knew I needed more education to make our business successful, which is when I discovered Everglades University. This has been a great experience because of some very educated professors who paved the way for me to understand the fundamentals of business. Dr. Carrillo and Dr. Bellamy were wonderful lecturers who... Read More answered all of my inquiries throughout the undergraduate program. They always provided great real time examples and served as mentors to look up to. Throughout this program, all of my lecturers have assisted me in overcoming various barriers to running my firm on a daily basis, which has led to my success as a business owner.

I love being here at Everglades University-Tampa campus! Everyone here is so personable. I like the small classes because of the personalized attention. I was skeptical about going back to school because I am easily distracted when there are lots of people in class. Here I get one-on-one time with the professors. With my degree, I plan on owning my own business in holistic health. I am currently getting my MBA in Accounting for Managers, and I will come back and get a second concentration in project...

When I first called EU for guidance about my degree, I was welcomed even though I was very apprehensive. I have been on a 33-collage hiatus. I wasn't sure I was ready to committee. Well, I was at a point at my job that I needed a degree to be promoted. I was challenged and EU helped me with that challenge. All I had was one year of college and 12 years of U.S. Navy experience. The counselors help me get as much credits as possible towards my degree. I was 100% online working 50-60 hrs. a week and... Read More I was still able to succeed. People throw the inspire around with not understanding the true meaning of the word. EU inspired me to succeed and pushed me to success. Iam currently enrolled in a master's degree program with the full support of the EU staff and professors. Thank you EU I will never forget what you have done for me!!

Everglades University has been nothing less than beneficial to me since I enrolled into the Masters program. Along the journey, I have met and created relationships with great professors, other students, and faculty. In some schools, one may feel as if he or she is "just a number", but at Everglades University I was able to be a part of a family. Although, I was only enrolled as an online student, I had direct contact with all of my professors and academic advisors. This made my time at the university... Read More well worth it! Professors also understood the challenging life of those who work and are enrolled in school. With this in mind, they were very patient and helpful as it relates to balancing work and school and completing tasks.

After exploring different Emergency Management programs, I chose Everglades University after learning that the class sizes are smaller than most and the course pace is set up to where I only have to take one class a month. I work full-time, so only having to concentrate on one course at a time is life changing and enables me to finish my degree. I have a passion for helping people in need as I’ve worked in Emergency Medical Services for the past seven years. I worked all throughout the Covid-19 crisis,... Read More and I learned so much about management and what it takes to work together with multiple agencies during a crisis of that magnitude. This caused me to really think about my future. I asked myself, ‘How could I make more of a difference in addition to what I am already doing?’ Choosing to pursue a BS in Crisis and Disaster Management will provide me with so many opportunities for me to help in a variety of ways. I’m six weeks into my time at Everglades, and everyone including the faculty, administration and students have been so welcoming. The Administrative staff members at Everglades are here to help you succeed. There’s nothing lacking when it comes to support, and seminars are held to learn to write a better paper or build a resume. In addition, community service events are held and they keep you up-to-date with a monthly calendar of events. I’m so happy I made this choice.

When I first came to Everglades University, I was working full time and looking to obtain a bachelor’s degree. As someone in their late 20's I felt like it may have been too late for me, and I felt nervous and scared to have a meeting with the admissions department. Right away I had a meeting and a tour with admissions I felt a huge relief and was excited to start my academic journey. Professor Tammy Good was incredible. She was someone who was an absolute delight to have for classes. She always... Read More made class fun and made her lessons applicable to when I was out in the field. I can’t say enough about her. In my second year of Everglades university, I had started to slip up on my workload and was not managing my time well as my grades were showing. Dr. Burk pulled me aside and explained to me about the effort that I put into my schoolwork can have a direct effect on my performance in my career in the construction industry. I really respect Dr Burk and his knowledge in the field of construction. So, since that time I have given my best effort on all assignments and class participation. Since that moment have my grades had a major improvement but my performance at work is also better as well. I have been working for the same company for the last 5 years. I started out as a carpenter’s helper at my job before enrolling at Everglades University. I noticed a tremendous difference by going to classes at night after being in the field. I was able to apply what I was learning in school to everyday work giving me a significant advantage. In the beginning of this past summer, I was promoted to superintendent and started running my first job. Thank you, Everglades, for all your guidance!

By enrolling at Everglades University, I was able to fulfill a dream of learning about all Complementary and Alternative Medicine disciplines and how they contribute to disease prevention and treatment. Furthermore, I have applied my knowledge to benefit my family, myself, and the community. I also decided to major in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This was a great decision since it allows me to learn more about the subject while also benefiting society, while still benefitting patients with the holistic...

Everglades University has been the right choice for me because it offers flexible schedules and a promising curriculum. I was looking for a program for Alternative Medicine, and Everglades University was the only school I could find that takes Alternative Medicine seriously in the United States – usually you have to look overseas for such an alternative medicine program. My experience with Everglades has been nothing but amazing from start to finish. The staff is warm and welcoming and very professional....
