What motivated me to enroll was the flexible schedule the university was offering. When I tried out their eight-week courses, I loved them. The classes didn’t waste time, and the instructors were super supportive. I felt like the environment was more work-oriented with students who had careers already and were going back to school.

They take the extra time to talk to you and assist you, and are very flexible with helping you grow anyway you want to. I’ve had good conversations with professors before and after class about my goals and passions and how I can reach those. They’ve given me a lot of helpful suggestions and advice.
