Testimonial

“Midway University provided me with academic support to help me develop new skills. They offered tutoring and mentoring programs that helped me achieve academic goals. The school also gives me the opportunity to join different clubs and have a leadership roles. My favorite class was Global Business because I am interested in international business. One assignments required me to bring a business from one country to the United States. That project was very challenging for me because it involves a lot of decision making, developing new strategies, and creating a marketing system for a restaurant and I had not done that before.”
