Success Stories


Through the EDLE grad program at the University of Arkansas, I’ve learned I can help more than just myself."

The one thing I like most about the format of the online program at the University of Arkansas is that I can still see my professor. I can interact, I can raise my hand, I can be involved in discussions, [and] I can see and learn from the other people who are in my class."
