Careers & Alumni
“The program offered synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities, which I found incredibly helpful in fitting in coursework around work duties.
The coursework has helped immensely with becoming a more proactive resource for my department and institution.”
“This program was amazing. It was phenomenal and life-changing for me.
I’m a mom of two children working both a full-time and part-time job.
I never thought I’d be able to squeeze another thing into my schedule, let alone have the time to get my master’s, but the coursework is something you can apply to your daily life—it’s not just busy work.”
“Quite honestly, the program forced me to think differently—not only at work, but also in all aspects of my life.
Since completing the program, I continually find myself referencing what I learned and approaching problems and opportunities in my life more confidently and in a fundamentally different way.”
