Discover Your Promise

Being a husband with 4 daughters doesn’t allow me much extra time outside of work, but I was able to log-on to the classes and get my assignments completed. I liked that the courses were only 7 weeks long. This motivated me to stay engaged throughout the whole course. The professors are very responsive to emails and messages. I’ve taken 13 online classes and really enjoyed the experience. If I had one regret, it would be that I didn’t start classes sooner.

Brian Carter

It’s been 18 years since I completed my last degree. I was looking for a career change but couldn’t do traditional face to face classes because of my 40+ hour work week schedule conflicted with class times. I was then introduced to the idea of taking online classes by the admissions office. I took two semesters to try to figure out if this was something I really wanted to pursue. The flexibility of being able to work on my assignments and homework at home while my family was sleeping was a win-win for me.
