Tim Bludau, Emily Howard and Jeremy Shields held stable, professional jobs at successful companies. They are now students in the university's MBA program.
None of the three students are victims of the economy. None of them were laid off. They just wanted to further their educations, they said.
Bludau said he returned to school because he thought he hit a ceiling at his previous job. He worked as a senior project manager for a small company that specialized in technology solutions for public and private utilities, he said.
