Master’s Degree from C.W. Post: The Foundation for a Great Career

As a senior architect in the technology services division of CA -- a multi-billion global IT management software provider -- Eric Feldman knows the importance of having an advanced degree. He credits the Master of Business Administration degree that he earned in December from the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University in Brookville with improving his performance, and he’s confident his M.B.A. will help him advance in his career.

“As part of my job, I interact with chief information officers and executives of large corporations,” the Long Beach resident said. “There is significant value in having an M.B.A. degreebecause it allows you to speak authoritatively on a full range of key topics. And when your customers have attained a certain level of education, it’s important that you also have a similar academic background to complement that.”

C.W. Post graduate students have access to state-of-the-art laboratories, including C.W. Post’s Financial Markets Center.

For individuals seeking to maximize their career potential, a graduate degree from C.W. Post can mean the difference between a good career and a great one.

C.W. Post master’s degree programs are designed for working adults as well as for recent baccalaureate graduates. Evening and weekend courses allow students to balance study with work and family responsibilities.

“I work a lot of hours, so the part-time program was good for me,” Feldman said. “Without a doubt, my professors in the M.B.A. program were excellent. They cared about their students. I even had one professor who gave an optional review session on a Friday night, just to make sure everyone would do well on the final exam.”

Post offers more than 70 master’s degree programs in accounting, art, biology, business, communication sciences and disorders, computer science, counseling and development, criminal justice, teacher education and school administration, environmental studies, English, Spanish, health professions and nursing, history, library and information science, mathematics, music, political science, psychology and public administration.
