Tyler Eberhart

How Valpo’s MBA Took This Alumnus From Engineering To Public Service

Student-athlete Tyler Eberhart ’24, ’25 MBA, excelled in Valpo’s accredited College of Engineering as an undergraduate student. So when the opportunity to play another year of collegiate football as a fifth-year arose, Tyler was inspired to enroll in Valpo’s nationally ranked master of business administration program as part of a bigger vision: to run for local office as a public servant in his hometown.

But after a chance meeting with Valparaiso University President José Padilla, J.D., Grace was inspired to grasp a hold of her dreams and transfer from a local community college into Valpo’s nationally recognized College of Business.
