āOnline classes gave me space to balance both my work and school. It was like I was learning things in class while I was actually doing it in real life.ā
āStepping outside of the online classroom and experiencing international business firsthand was impactful. Being able to learn about another countries' business practices from company directors, presidents, or CEOs is an experience that no book, discussion forum, or online class could have offered me.ā
āHaving that hands-on work experience helped me see the bigger picture in my classes and connect the dots between what I was learning and how it plays out in real life.ā
āIt's been amazing to go back to school without worrying about travel time. Āé¶¹AV gives me that flexibility. I'm able to find the time that fits in my schedule to make sure my work gets done.ā
āI came into my counseling masterās program with a lot of knowledge on different psychology theories and schools of thought. I really donāt know how I would have been successful in graduate school if it werenāt for the foundation I gained in the psychology bachelorās program.ā
āOften, people will focus entirely on work or education, and it doesnāt have to be that way. Get involved in your community. Tout that youāre an MBA candidate; that carries a lot of weight, especially from Āé¶¹AVās College of Business.ā
āStarting straight out of high school, I didnāt really understand how to juggle family and school or the value of time management. So, going back to Āé¶¹AV at 40 and finally graduating with the degree I originally went for is really satisfying.ā
āThatās why being a marketing practitioner ā someone who does it as a career ā is so beneficial. You're better able to understand how to market yourself in this noisy, chaotic world to move yourself forward.ā
āThe masterās itself gave me the opportunity to say, āLook, whatever happens, I always have this graduate degree to back me up.' If one day Iām not drilling water wells or I sell my business, I have a degree nobody can take away.ā
āI was so impressed with how awesome the online program was, especially for older people, working people, moms, and dads. Anybody who wants to go back to school has that opportunity through Āé¶¹AV Online.ā
