Transfer Tracks Perspective: Kellen McCullouch
Kellen McCullouch transferred to the Meridian campus of Mississippi State University from Meridian Community College. He chose MSU-Meridian because it allowed him the opportunity to receive a great education without having to move away from home. Kellen is working toward a Business Administration degree with a concentration in Healthcare Administration.
“I felt like I would be around two things I am passionate about healthcare and business.” Kellen developed a passion for healthcare because he has many family members who work in the medical field. His interest in business came after high school when he began working with a local company where the owner took the opportunity to teach him a lot about business.
After graduation Kellen hopes to find a career in the healthcare industry while continuing his education through Mississippi State’s Online Distance MBA program.
