Dorinzo Walters

Athens, AL

Empowering Students to Achieve Academic and Professional Excellence

At UMT, I had the honor and privilege of completing my Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Business Administration. I completed my BBA while on active duty and my MBA after retiring from military service. During my time on active duty, UMT offered flexibility to pursue my educational goals in very busy garrison (home station) settings and while deployed to combat environments.

When military missions and assignment due dates conflicted, I did not experience the stress that some of my peers at other universities faced. I knew UMT professors and staff would afford me the opportunity to complete classwork later, within reason, without impacting my GPA.

I was able to travel and complete my MBA in the top 15% of graduates, and be elected to membership in the Delta Epsilon Tau International Honor Society.

Today, I am a small business owner who provides services to Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries.

NOTE: Dorinzo Walters is a BBA (’19) and MBA (’24) graduate.

"After retiring, I was not sure if UMT would offer the same flexibility as it provided while I was serving on active duty. I am excited to say that not only did UMT offer the same level of flexibility, but it also provided challenging class materials relevant to real-world applications."
