Student Success

I really enjoy the ability I have to get things done on my own time without the restrictions of a schedule. Working full time, along with the other things life throws at me, makes it extremely difficult to go to school in person. I thought online schooling would be more difficult, but it’s actually extremely structured and there is no lack of communication with professors. It’s been a wonderful experience thus far.
