Cody Wingfield, who graduated with an MBA from the Soules College of Business in 2023.
I graduated from the EMBA-HCM program’s inaugural class. Obtaining an MBA in health care management has been an invaluable complement to my medical training as a physician administrator. The combination of medical expertise and business acumen has empowered me to navigate the complex and ever-changing landscape of health care and has helped me become an effective health care leader.

MBA in Health Care Management, 2019

The material I learned from Professor Doty’s courses is very relevant today, and it speaks to the caliber of professors at UT Tyler. I learned of the U.S. Federal Reserve and how the decisions they make reverberate through everyday life. This and many other elements from class helped me when studying finance and working in the finance industry.
