Trey McDonald
MBA GraduateAlumni Spotlight
Trey McDonald earned an MBA — his second UNCP degree in five years. The Red Springs native became part of an elite group in the country in that only 14% of Americans 25 and older had attained an advanced degree.
“The course material is rigorous and takes time, but it’s very much attainable if you put in the time and effort,” McDonald said. “My biggest challenge was programming, but my undergrad (experience) prepared me for everything else. I was very much impressed with our faculty. They do an amazing job in preparing you for the future.”
