Doctor earning MBA from Bellevue University while practicing medicine in the United Arab Emirates
As a leader in adult learning, Bellevue University’s online programs allow students worldwide to earn a degree, sometimes without ever setting foot on campus. This adds to the diversity of our student base, which is appreciated by students as they learn from each other in our online classroom discussions. One current online student shares her remarkable story with us.
Bela Sachdeva has enjoyed a successful 16-year career as a pediatrician in her native India and more recently the United Arab Emirates. But now she wants more – she wants to run a large hospital or healthcare organization. To help her achieve that goal, she enrolled in Bellevue University's online MBA program with a concentration in healthcare.
The University's online MBA program offers Sachdeva the flexibility to continue her medical practice in the United Arab Emirates while earning her degree.
"I am envied amongst my peers and colleagues for pursuing MBA studies from a U.S. university, and that gives me immense pleasure," said Dr. Sachdeva.
She plans on completing her MBA in February 2010, then visiting the Omaha area to see the Bellevue University campus and attend commencement.
Bellevue University was one of the first accredited universities to offer a degree program online, in 1996. The University was the first accredited university to offer an online MBA, which remains one of the largest online MBA programs in the country.
