Success Stories

Hear From Our Students

Transitioning from AMT classes to AMB was phenomenally smooth and created a stress-free transition in continuing my education. Originally, I was hesitant at the prospect of 100% online program, however with the supportive faculty and flexible scheduling I do not think I could accomplish the program otherwise. I am on track for a higher degree at my own pace, I can be enrolled in several classes or fewer depending on life’s current challenges.

– Camryn Kleine

Northwood University’s exceptional staff and class content has been transforming my thinking as a professional in the work field as I continue to grow, and I am already reaping the benefits of taking this challenge on as I have earned a promotion. I have had the opportunity to apply many of the skills learned throughout Northwood’s AMB pathway in my professional career and it has been nothing short of a very rewarding experience.
