Heriberto Claudio’s (ASGS '17, BBA '22, MBA '24) journey with the University of Management and Technology (UMT) was inspired by the recommendations of trusted individuals in his life. Encouraged by his first sergeant and the mother of his children - both UMT alumni - Heriberto decided to explore the educational programs offered by the institution.

It's a step up for me now and will prepare me for the future," Heriberto expressed, emphasizing the impact of his education.
Reflecting on his UMT experience, Heriberto appreciated the helpfulness of the staff and the flexibility of self-paced classes, which allowed him to register when his military schedule permitted.
