Education in Business Survey

An MBA student at Idaho State University is conducting a survey to better understand the needs of the communities in Southern and Southeastern Idaho. We are looking for business professionals and employees in the workplace to take the survey to better understand the perceptions surrounding an education in business. We will be using the results to determine what course of action will best serve the communities, such as online programs and continuing education opportunities. The results are anonymous, and there is an option to win a $50 Amazon gift card at the end. Please contact me at scotkrys@isu.edu for any questions or concerns-- thank you for your support for higher education.
