Goals
My reason for applying to Empire State is to complete my degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and Bachelor’s degree in Business Management. A college education will assist me in acquiring a range of knowledge in many subjects, as well as advanced knowledge in the specific subjects I am interested in.

The training encompassed a variety of areas which included human resources and logistical operations. In reviewing my Military Transcripts I came to the conclusion that the years of training could easily be transferable in a civilian capacity.

An Associate’s Degree will provide me with the necessary tools needed to succeed in a variety of industries such as finance or government.
