“Earning my master’s degree while also working at JWU has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. School has always been a struggle for me. From kindergarten through my senior year in college, I was that kid in the back of the classroom trying to grasp the lesson but feeling lost. The way the content is delivered in the online program at JWU matches my learning style. Finally feeling successful in school is a confidence builder.”
