"This program is challenging yet rewarding. It allows people who may not have otherwise had the ability to attend an in-person university to return to school and complete a college education.
Given my current schedule (working full-time, parenting and extracurricular activities), there is no way I would be able to attend in-person classes. This program has allowed me to go back to school and complete my degree."
