“I like that this program is smaller than my undergraduate program. It is much easier to have conversations with your instructors and professors. Even though the degree is online, they are always willing to connect via email, phone or in-person to help you learn and grow. I have already spoken with one over the phone about some of my professional development endeavors outside of school.”
