John Macahan

B.S. Occupational Safety and Health
M.B.A. Project Management

The degrees I obtained through CSU have allowed me to gain knowledge in my field and create opportunities to grow within my organization. They have also shown senior management that I have the ability to learn new skills and the intuition to understand a wide range of disciplines.

Howard "Skip" Elliott

M.S. Criminal Justice Administration

For 30 plus years I told every new employee that education was a lifelong process and to start a degree, finish their degree, or go back for another. Then it struck me, I was a hypocrite. I hadn’t followed my own advice. CSU gave me the opportunity to fix that.
