From Our Online Students and Graduates


I happened into social work by talking with some friends. I stayed on this path as I learned that I could make a difference for people in the classroom or school setting without being a teacher. I feel like this path has given me the opportunity to support families in...

I love being an educator, and I did not want to stop being one, so I chose a program that fit my life. I'm very happy with my job and my geographic location, but I wanted a doctorate, also. For someone like that, this is the program for me.

Take your time and be sure you know that this is something you want to do. Don't go in there and think that it's going to be very easy, and you're going to breeze through it. Be sure you're dedicated to this program, and you will do wonderful.

I could come and go as I wanted. I put aside a certain time to do my assignments. That was convenient, especially while working. I moved back home to be around family and friends.
