"The online aspect really made it easy to look forward to, instead of challenging to navigate. I’m a single mom, almost 40 and I’m a full-time general manager of a restaurant. So, if I had to do traditional (on-campus) classes, it probably wouldn’t have happened. The online flexibility really gave me the ability to do these challenging courses, but at my own time."
