"With the experience I have gained, I have been made a better person and Ive been able to accept bigger challenges and responsibilities".

The above were the words of Franklin Poku, a 2014 MBA Finance graduate from the Wisconsin International University.

According to him, attending Wisconsin University was a great way to begin his career, as he already had a background in accounting and therefore sought for a broader course, that is finance.

In an interview with Pulse.com.gh on Hero's Journey, Franklin said what has kept him going in business, is his ability to manage time, a trait he acquired while at Wisconsin.

"If you know what you need to do the next day, you have to be up for it. Time is one thing I appreciate very much. Once you are on time, everything falls into place," he added.

Recounting his experience at Wisconsin, Franklin said he loved the fact that the class was surrounded by a group of students with various backgrounds in accounting, finance, and so on, that one could tap knowledge from.

He advised students who would want to acquire a degree to always make Wisconsin International University their first choice.

"Whatever you need in terms of lecturers; in terms of I mean the resource persons...the networking they do; you will never regret attending Wisconsin university for any program. I have experienced; I have witnessed it; and I'm living it," Franklin added.

Many graduates of Wisconsin International University College currently hold prestigious positions in a variety of industries around the globe.
