I've always wanted to earn this degree. Saint Joseph's College made it possible so that I could continue working full time and study at night. I was surprised at how supportive the teachers were. [Saint Joseph's] has the best advisors.

It has been a dream to go to the master's level. I wanted to become more independent and autonomous. I'm just amazed that I made it through with full-time work and kids to manage.

I was surprised how much I could learn online. You would think that you have to be in a classroom to learn. But the way you could read the thoughts of others on the discussion board was challenging and interesting.
