Teacher Testimonals

What teachers are saying about these off-campus Masters programs:

 

"I wanted to tell you first of all, that the best help of all came from all the office people I've spoken to over the course of my program. Every one of them was available, helpful and found answers to my questions or solved problems. I don't know if I would have found that at a large university.

Second, the cohort experience was perfect, having a group of people to take the journey together, and have the predictable once-a-week classes... made it all easier."

~ Mary Sue Smith

 

"The cohorts are nice as the university tries to make it as convenient as possible for interested students. The time and date are also convenient ... seeing that it's only 1 day a week - it even allows for individuals not in the education field to make whatever arrangements necessary to ensure they arrive to class on time.

~ Rose Frazier
