"This program helped me achieve the goals I had set out for myself when I was a freshman in high school. I looked at a lot of different programs but very few offered the flexibility I was looking for. I have a very demanding work schedule so being able to work at my own pace and alongside people who were working just like me was amazing. Even though it was a completely online program, EIU still offered a sense of community."
