Thakane Makume, Doctorate in Strategic Management

It was in 2009 when I came across the Atlantic International University. I was surfing the net trying to find a suitable higher learning institution that would accommodate my lifestyle. I am a mother on a fulltime job, my family responsibilities don’t allow my absence from home for long periods of time, so I could not be a fulltime students away from home.
I came across AIU, I was impressed with Andragogic education, I never heard of it before, and however, I wanted to try it. I enrolled with Atlantic International University in 2010. I registered for a Masters’ degree in Strategic Planning and Management. As if that was not enough, my Tutor took me through my studies in a very remarkable way, following my progress through and suggesting some ways I could best do my assignments, encouraging me to meet deadlines for submissions.
I must mention that there was a time when I thought I was dropping out, I was distratected by the situation at work, my company was undergoing downsizing and my future was rather bleak, but my Tutor followed me up with a telephone call…I was impressed, I couldn’t believe it. That gave me so much energy and endurance to continue with my studies until I proudly finished my Master’s program.
After I acquired my Master’s program, most consulting companies here in Maseru recognize my presence in the Strategic Planning profession, so much that at the moment I am working, on part time basis, with one consultant, on a project they have. That means a little extra income for me and my family.
I am grateful that I have been a student at AIU, so much that going forward, I have enrolled for a Doctorate program starting from 2016. AIU is very good university for people who, for any reason, cannot be at the campus on a full time basis, it provides all resources that a student may need….all on line.
I would recommend AIU to anyone who takes their education seriously.
