That’s why our world-class online business admin degree was perfect for him. Each degree found him where he was and led him to start his own business.

A dead-end

Tyler was working in the orthopedic manufacturing industry when he reached a dead end. He was a hard worker, a loyal employee, and a go-getter, but he noticed that he wasn’t getting promoted like those around him. So, Tyler started asking questions. He soon realized that in order to be promoted, he needed a bachelor’s degree. So the search began.

Finding a fit

Tyler needed a degree completion program in business administration. This program would have to be flexible, and it would accept the credits he had earned for his associates. Tyler’s search led him straight to Grace’s online business administration bachelor degree completion program. Grace allowed him to bring in all of his credits from his associate’s degree. This saved him time and money and allowed him to focus on his core classes. He completed his online business administration bachelor degree in 2018.

Let’s add an MBA

But that wasn’t the end for Tyler. His experience with Grace’s online programs was so beneficial that he decided to stick around for one more online business admin degree. After he conferred his bachelor’s degree, he immediately began to pursue his Master’s of Business Administration at Grace. Tyler officially graduated with his MBA in August 2020.

Call Him President

Tyler is now president and founder of Orthopedic Validation Experts, LLC., where his company comes alongside their clients to validate the manufacturing process to comply with industry requirements. “I would never have been able to start my own business, the way I did, if it weren’t for the education I earned from Grace College.” Grace channeled Tyler’s drive for excellence and launched him forward to start his own company with confidence.

An Opportunity of a Lifetime

But it doesn’t stop there. Tyler was offered an opportunity that blew his wildest dreams out of the water: one where his experiences and knowledge met the world’s most pressing needs. Tyler was recruited and hired by ALKU, a pharmaceutical consultancy agency in Bryan, Texas, to serve as a validation engineer for equipment that manufactured vaccines for COVID-19.

“There were 31 pieces of equipment that needed to be validated. The objective was to ensure that the manufacturing process equipment could be statistically proven capable of producing finished good products,” Tyler explained. His job was to ensure the safety, functionality, integrity, and accuracy of all 31 machines.
