“ The Certificate in Marketing Management course at FAU helped me launch my career. You cannot have sales without marketing!”

Yanina Aranes, Realtor

“As a corporate financial analyst with 14 years of experience, the FAU Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) courses were an excellent

opportunity to broaden my skills. After taking the courses, and preparing with FAU’s Capstone review course, I feel well prepared

for the arduous CFP® certification exam. Real-world instructors ready to answers tough questions saved me a lot of prep time.”

Lloyd Havel, Corporate Financial Analyst

“ The MBA in International Business and subsequent Executive Certificate in Project Management through the FAU Executive Program gave me unique perspectives that enabled me to deeply understand business … I currently speak to CEOs of multinational corporations in various sectors and am quickly able to decipher their unique business problems, allowing me to come up with creative solutions to those problems. Had I not attended the FAU Executive program, I could never have launched my own business which is rapidly expanding and taking on new clients monthly. As a now successful entrepreneur, I am absolutely grateful for my education, the quality of the professors and the highly professional dedicated customer service of the support staff that enabled me to fulfill my lifelong dream.”

Meredith Madsen, Madsen Advertising, EMBA and Executive Certificate in Project Management Graduate, 2011

“ My experience with Florida Atlantic University's Master Black Belt program has been both challenging and rewarding at the same time.
