Karie
Willyerd '97
Chief Learning Officer
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
The IPT degree program launched me into
the next level of career success, by stimulating not only my ability to
apply for and obtain a new role, but also making me feel a doctoral
program was within reach. Within five years of finishing the IPT
degree, I received a doctorate from Case Western Reserve in management.
If Boise State had offered a doctorate, I would not have had to look
elsewhere, and would likely have stayed with a degree specific to my
field. Now with both a master's and doctorate, I have the career
credentials which allowed me to obtain a role as the chief learning
officer for a Fortune 200 company.
