Marines are trained to be focused and decisive, so Drew knew exactly what he had to do. Drew started the Walton Executive MBA program in 2013.

The military prepares service members for combat and humanitarian operations, but to climb up the corporate ladder, transitioning veterans may need a different kind of training. “Just like training is essential to be a successful service member, training is essential to be a successful corporate employee. If a transitioning service member lacks a business background and has decided to pursue that route in civilian life, I would encourage that individual to pursue some form of education or training.”

When Drew began to look at MBA possibilities, he recognized that he would need a program that allowed him to balance work, home, and school. As a Legislative Research Manager in Wal-Mart’s Compliance Department, Drew monitors and interprets pending state and federal legislation on non-food products and chemicals while providing his interpretation to managing teams.

“The Walton Executive MBA was geographically convenient and well-respected, particularly in Northwest Arkansas. I also thought drewbozarth_classroom3-7158135the structure of the courses would be most conducive to maintaining a decent work/life balance.”

The Walton Executive MBA program has helped Drew become more familiar with the corporate world. Having been introduced into business culture, he has also discovered new ways to utilize his experience and leadership training.
