“My friend was surprised I felt the need for an MBA with all of my work experience. But I told her, ‘Why not have both? Why not show that I can do the work and have the degree to back it up?’”
“Being full-time can feel like a lot to keep up with, but I was able to do two classes each eight weeks and still maintain full-time status. It just makes the workload more manageable.”
“Being organized is key in this program. Having a set plan of due dates allowed me to complete my assignments on time and even be able to complete some ahead of time.”
"I was looking for a flexible program geared toward my goal of becoming an occupational therapist. UL Lafayette had a kinesiology program that was online and accepted all of my credits. That was a huge plus — I didn’t have to start from scratch.”
“Throughout the program, I had a lot of ‘aha’ moments. There were times when we’d cover a concept and I’d be like, ‘Wait, they talked about this on our last earnings call.’”
“The M.Ed. program gave me confidence and made me feel like I have a voice. Now, whenever there’s a new law passed or a new policy in my district, I have the tools to look it up for myself and interpret it and be an advocate for myself and other teachers.”
“It took me 21 years to finish. I’m still in awe that I actually did this. My first semester on campus, I remember using the telephone dial-up to register for classes. It’s been neat to see the ѻƵ’s complete transition to modern technology.”
“There were so many courses that let me explore criminal justice topics I’d never thought about before. Like crime and media or crime and mental health... If students enter the program ready to be immersed in the courses, they’ll have their minds opened to different perspectives that could take them anywhere.”
“I feel like people think you have to really grind and maybe cut out certain things in your life, but you don’t have to do that. The online program is tailored to people with careers or other responsibilities.”
