Tyson's Story

After he graduated from high school, Tyson took classes at a community college. He planned on becoming an English major in a four-year program but postponed his studies after he landed a good job in construction, got married and started a family.

“I spent a lot of time waiting for a better time to come when it would be more ‘convenient’ to go back to school. But eventually I realized that things only become busier in your career, with your children. I’m really glad I went back when I did,” reflects Tyson.

When Tyson enrolled in Albright’s DCP program, his plans and priorities had shifted from his initial focus on the liberal arts. An established project manager at a successful construction company, he was looking for a degree that would have practical applications in his profession coupled with a broad business base. He also wanted to devote enough time to his wife and young daughter.

“My wife is in graduate school and I work a lot, so time was really the issue. I looked at all of the online programs but I really wanted to experience the classroom environment. That was the major selling point for me,” emphasizes Tyson.

With nine different locations in PA (one of which was close to Tyson’s house) and a straightforward classroom-based program scheduled for one night a week over the course of two years, Tyson found what he was looking for in DCP’s program for Business Administration.

“Everything we studied from management techniques to strategy and planning helped me learn new techniques for my job.” Many classes and textbooks later, not to mention lunchtime and weekend study sessions, Tyson will graduate with a GPA of 3.93. “The program has enhanced everything I do,” smiles Tyson.

Tyson Intile, business administration major and project manager at Fabcon, learned why finishing his degree couldn’t be put off any longer. With DCP’s convenient one-night-a-week model, he began planning his future. Watch Tyson in this video and learn how the Accelerated Degree Programs can get you where you want to be.

“When I first met with the advisor at Albright, I was encouraged to put together a portfolio. This was a great opportunity for me, because I felt I had undergone relevant business training—everything from LEED certification to workplace ethics—and I liked the idea that I could get credit for things I’d accomplished outside of class work.”
