When asked about learning in an online classroom, he says, “I got more personal attention and interaction than I’ve gotten in the past from some of my on- campus learning experiences. I think it has a lot to do with how AeU creates classes that foster interaction.”

AeU’s unique format provides the flexibility of learning online with the interconnectedness of a vibrant global community.

After graduation, Mohamed Anif is looking forward to leveraging the new contacts he has made and focusing on what comes next.

“My personal goal for earning an MBA was that I wanted a better understanding of business concepts – I definitely achieved that. Now, I’m looking forward to exploring opportunities in my company that involve more leadership and responsibilities,” he says.
