A portrait of Darren Stevens.

“Having a full-time job and being married with two children could have been intimidating when trying to decide if I had the time to go back to school. The mix of classroom and online format at Texas Woman’s provided me the flexibility I needed and still gave me the in-class-brick-and-mortar experience I felt was important.”

Darren Stevens (MBA, 2006) Assistant Chief of Police, Frisco Police Department
