TESTIMONIALS

BAP is perfect for working professionals who’ve gone to college, have a passion and trained deeply in something, but something other than a business discipline. The program really gives people confidence in speaking and understanding the language of business.

Dr. Blakely Fender
Director, Business Advantage Program, Millsaps College

As a doctor, they train you a lot. But, they don’t teach you how to manage your own business, how to be a good manager of other people, and how to you manage your finances.

I have gained so much educational and personal knowledge through the professors that we’ve had. And I love the way it’s tailored to not overwhelm or intimidate you.
