The Faces of CSU
Greg Jerralds
San Antonio, Texas
… having his children apply for college motivated him to take the next step.
Greg Jerralds always held on to his dream of completing a bachelor’s degree and instilled in his children the same goal. With four children who had their sights set on college, he was motivated to complete his bachelor’s degree before his oldest child.
Long hours and frequent travel made it difficult for Greg to earn a degree in the traditional university setting. Greg chose CSU based on the quality online programs, self-paced courses, and accommodating style that made it easy for him to earn a degree with his demanding schedule. Two CSU diplomas, an associate’s degree in business, and a bachelor's degree in business administration currently hang on his wall.
"To make sure I stayed focused on earning my degrees, my wife purchased two CSU diploma frames in advance," Greg said. "They sat empty on my desk for years. But now I am proud to say they are both filled."
For over 24 years, Greg has held positions in the corporate world. He began as a mortgage banker, held the title of director with a global medical device company, and is currently the Chief Operating Officer with Profit InnerCircle, LLC. Greg credits CSU with some of his success in business and has received three senior level promotions since beginning courses at CSU in 2004.
After achieving his main goal of earning a bachelor's degree, Greg set higher goals. He was recently accepted into the CSU MBA program. His wife already purchased a third diploma frame that will one day display a master’s degree on his wall.
