Student Stories
From Our Online Students and Graduates
The support I've received here has been invaluable. The resources offered by the university - from tutoring services to mental health support - have been essential in helping me navigate challenges both inside and outside the classroom.
[The faculty] make me feel like I wasn't one of a million students. They take an interest. That meant everything to me because I've never had that kind of support system, especially from teachers.
I was starting my life over and wanted to go back to school, go after my dream. I have wanted to be a teacher all my life. It really is a calling God puts on your heart.
My kids are incredible. We have a lot of conversations about life and what they want to get ready for. They got to see me working hard toward something I wanted to accomplish.
