For Archer Adams, earning his Online MBA from Bellarmine University was about more than advancing his education — it was about building connections, developing discipline and preparing for long-term professional growth.
Today, Archer serves as an Equipment Sales Associate at ISCO Industries, a position he discovered through the Bellarmine network.
“I found out about ISCO Industries through a connection I met at Bellarmine,” Archer said. “He started working here and recommended it to me.”
While completing the Online MBA, Archer balanced multiple commitments. During his first year, he competed on Bellarmine’s swimming team. In his second year, he began working full time. The program’s flexible structure — with online courses meeting every other week — allowed him to successfully manage both.
“My experience with the Online MBA was great. I really enjoyed the faculty and my classmates, and the flexibility of it being online. It really taught me time management and how to hit a goal with a team,” he shared.
Through collaborative projects and real-world applications, Archer strengthened skills in teamwork, accountability and leadership — tools he now applies daily in his professional role.
“I definitely recommend the Online MBA program. It broadens your knowledge of business and helps you take those skills into the workplace.”
Archer’s journey reflects what makes Bellarmine’s Online MBA distinctive: meaningful connections, supportive faculty and a flexible format designed for driven professionals ready to grow without putting their careers on hold.
