William J. Thomsen

"Wartburg’s Business Administration program is complemented by the Leadership Certification that I’m adding. I’ve set up a flexible individualized plan of classes and projects that will help me make a difference as a leader. I hope to own a business someday, and what I’ve learned about servant-leadership should help me to run it more effectively.

My experience in Ritterchor (men’s choir) was great preparation for joining the Wartburg Choir. I had the privilege of touring with them to Europe and South Africa during May Term. It was a life-changing experience that I’ll never forget."

Jay Balek

"Wartburg College has an exceptional scholastic program. Professors are able and more than willing to help students outside of class. Our Pathways Center has proven itself to be very helpful when preparing a resume or reviewing a term paper. Wartburg also gives students the opportunity to intern with numerous companies and/or do research with professors. Here students are encouraged to be active in sports, student organizations and other programs. Creating strong lifelong relationships, being active outside the classroom, and obtaining those valuable real life work experiences are what Wartburg does best for students!"

- Jay Balek - Business Administration, Mason City, IA

Man-Ling Fan

"I aspire to be someone who is not afraid of making difficult decisions, but at the same time developing a strong set of personal and social values.

My choice to study at Wartburg has been a great decision. You will find very smart and friendly people here who will challenge the way you think, influence the person you are becoming, and transform your perspective of the world forever.”

- Man-Ling Fan, Business Administration – Finance, China

Zach Parham "The business department has helped me be able to double major in Accounting and Business Administration/Marketing, which are typically not associated together. The business department has worked extremely hard to allow me take an unusual field study this May Term as only a sophomore. Words cannot express how much I learned studying abroad, which I would have never been exposed to had I been in a typical classroom setting."

- Zach Parham, Accounting/Business Administration-Marketing, Anamosa, IA

Carrie Corpstein

"I came to Wartburg because the people were awesome. They were friendly and made me feel comfortable. I came to Wartburg as a Computer Information Systems major and found out by the end of my freshman year that I wanted to switch to Business. Changing my major was simple and I had a new advisor in a day.

This year I was able to work at a real estate firm in Waverly through the internship program. Wartburg does a really good job in making sure we are ready for the “real world”. They take you through what I like to call a four-step process: 1. They teach you through textbooks; 2. They have you apply what you learned with hands-on experience; 3. They help you find an internship; and 4. They then help you find a job. Wartburg has done an amazing job in preparing me for the workforce."

- Carrie Corpstein, Business Administration – Management, Waverly, IA

“Wartburg College is a great place to receive higher education.  I have learned to be more responsible and more independent.

The professors know students on a first name basis and are available for help outside of class time.  Students also have access to top-notch facilities.  The overall atmosphere makes college life more enjoyable.”
