“Just do it. It’s going to be challenging, and you’re going to have to juggle some things. But if I can do it, anybody can. You’re always going to be busy — but you won’t regret it once it’s done.”
"General studies was the best use of the classes that I had taken and gave me the freedom to take classes that had to do with the career route I was taking. The ability to do everything fully online was huge for me. I wouldn't have been able to finish if it weren't for that opportunity.”
“Be intentional and purpose driven. It’s not going to be easy, but it’s all about how you plan and go about your day-to-day life. Be structured and just know that if I can do it while juggling a business, so can you.”

“Now is your time. Just jump in and start doing it, even if it’s just one class a semester. When you look back when you’re done and see your strength, endurance, and persistence, you’ll have a different outlook on yourself.”
“The professors were prepared, knowledgeable, and easy to get a hold of. Nothing felt out of reach. I didn’t feel different because I was an online student. It was like I was going to a brick-and-mortar every day, even though I wasn’t.”
“The instructors were always available. I’d message them, and they’d get back with me either the same day or the next. Even the staff — financial aid, enrollment support — always answered the phone. Everything was smooth.”
“I loved learning about all the different sides of the industry — operations, law, marketing, management — and getting to explore which path felt right for me. Getting those hours in the field was really helpful in applying what I was learning.”
