"The online Masters in Art Education was exactly what I had been looking for. After a few years of working as an art educator, I was searching for the next step in my professional career, but I did not want to sacrifice moving my family or leaving the job that I currently have, The online degree was accessible, affordable, and incredibly enriching both professionally and personally. Through the program I found lifelong friends as well as a renewed love of my career."

Mary Ann Severs, Art Education

"I had a great experience doing the online Masters of Arts degree in Community Arts. The courses were challenging but I learned a lot, not only from the professors but also from the various experiences and viewpoints that my classmates shared. Also, the fact that I didn’t have to always communicate in real time was a big advantage since I live in Japan. The best part of completing my masters at EIU was being able to go to the campus during the summer for the studio courses. It was wonderful to meet so many of my classmates from the online courses in person, and I feel that the sense of community kept me motivated even after coming back home."
