The RRU Experience – In Their Words

Andrea Torres
RRU Student
“At RRU, I’ve made close relationships with people from all over the world.”
“Wanting a new start, new knowledge and a new job, I realized it was time to go back to school. And with a small campus and a personalized, service-oriented program, Royal Roads University and the Master of Global Management seemed like the perfect fit. The cohort model, teaming up with a small group of students throughout my program, has been a nice experience. At large universities, I never really had the chance to get to know my classmates, but here, at RRU, I’ve made close relationships with people from all over the world. The cohort concept very much correlates to the workplace: you learn to apply teammates’ strengths and weaknesses to assignments, you learn how to be a good leader and you learn how to be led by others and take direction well.
At RRU I’ve been exposed to many different cultures – an experience that has helped me form new, more open, perspectives. Different from traditional business programs, the MGM teaches you see past the numbers and to the people within the company. I feel like I’ve come away from this program and from my learning with a greater sensitivity and understanding for our world’s people.”
