WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.075 --> 00:00:02.055 The Kelley School and the 3/2 program 2 00:00:02.835 --> 00:00:06.015 in particular can be very transformative for someone 3 00:00:06.655 --> 00:00:09.015 speaking very personally, even though many 4 00:00:09.015 --> 00:00:10.775 of the things I learned technically are 5 00:00:10.775 --> 00:00:11.975 no longer even relevant. 6 00:00:12.285 --> 00:00:14.175 What I think that the program really did 7 00:00:14.175 --> 00:00:17.255 for me was it gave me confidence. 8 00:00:17.995 --> 00:00:21.175 It taught me how to learn. It taught me to be curious. 9 00:00:22.115 --> 00:00:25.815 It exposed me to the business world, to 10 00:00:26.345 --> 00:00:29.735 other senior executives, put me in lots of situations 11 00:00:29.735 --> 00:00:32.135 that I maybe would not have been as comfortable in 12 00:00:32.135 --> 00:00:33.855 otherwise had I not been through the program. 13 00:00:34.445 --> 00:00:36.415 That allowed me to have a degree 14 00:00:36.415 --> 00:00:39.175 of confidence going into the earliest part 15 00:00:39.175 --> 00:00:40.455 of my career professionally. 16 00:00:40.605 --> 00:00:42.855 Well, I think if a student is on the fence about the 17 00:00:42.855 --> 00:00:46.255 3/2 program, they need to dig down within themselves 18 00:00:46.955 --> 00:00:49.575 and think about what they're really looking 19 00:00:49.755 --> 00:00:51.375 for over the long term. 20 00:00:51.635 --> 00:00:54.575 Do they want a job or do they want a career? 21 00:00:55.035 --> 00:00:57.775 And it's not that you can't have a career going 22 00:00:57.775 --> 00:00:59.055 through the undergraduate program. 23 00:00:59.755 --> 00:01:01.335 You have lots of different opportunities 24 00:01:01.385 --> 00:01:02.495 ahead of you, et cetera. 25 00:01:02.545 --> 00:01:05.295 Where else can you effectively get a two year degree 26 00:01:05.295 --> 00:01:08.695 with one additional year at that caliber of a level 27 00:01:08.715 --> 00:01:11.175 of education and the opportunities that come from that? 28 00:01:11.195 --> 00:01:13.295 I'm just not sure where else you could possibly get that 29 00:01:13.355 --> 00:01:15.415 and have that opportunity right in front of you. 30 00:01:15.555 --> 00:01:18.495 So if you want a whole additional set of opportunities 31 00:01:18.495 --> 00:01:20.495 that may open up for you over the long term. 32 00:01:20.775 --> 00:01:23.015 I just can't see how you would pass up the 3/2.
