“
The professors in the [Food Technology] program were highly knowledgeable with impressive credentials and they were very accessible.
”
Paul Rockwell, Corporate Chef, Diversified Foods & Seasonings, Inc.

“
I was apprehensive about online classes going into the program. I always thought that I was a better learner "in person" and was concerned that I wouldn't gain as much in an online setting. I was totally wrong.
”
Abigail Letts, The GLOBE Academy, Sixth Grade Language Arts Teacher
M.Ed., Reading Education
“
My favorite part [about the degree program] so far has been furthering my knowledge in the area, and I can definitely tell through my job that it has helped me with clients and the different financial questions they have.
”

Online Master of Financial Planning
“
Even though I only see them a handful of times a year, I consider my fellow students some of my dearest friends. You’re never alone. I don’t want to trivialize this degree and compare the program to summer camp, but that’s the mentality behind our relationships. I know I’ll have this loving network for the rest of my life.
”

Many of the people in my class are teachers, and we all teach different programs – and some teach in other states – so I get a chance to hear from people near and far.
”
Maima Chea, PhD Student, Georgia State University
M.Ed., Reading Ed., '15
“
As a future science or social studies teacher, I found that the undergraduate program did not focus on literacy. I only took one required class for literacy during my 4 years there. So I wanted to expand my knowledge of how to include literacy and literacy skills into my science classroom.
”

Everyone that I have talked to in our field is always impressed to know that I went to UGA. The LDT program at UGA has a tremendous reputation in the industry and the studio experience and faculty are a huge part of that. The reason I am in my job now is a direct result of my time in the program.
”
Seth Hathcock, Senior Curriculum Developer, Pardot
M.Ed., Learning Design and Technology, IDD, '13
“
I always tell my students to chase their dreams, work hard and never give up. What kind of example would I set for them if I were to give up on myself in the middle of the program? I was motivated because I want to be someone that they can be proud of, and that they can look up to.
”
Jenna Thayer, Middle School Choir Teacher

I believe everyone should experience online learning at some point in their career because it does shape learning habits and skill sets in a different way that a traditional learning environment doesn’t. In the area of music education, I learned a lot of skill sets that are going to be part of my career in a meaningful way.
”
Jessica Tirado, Music Teacher
Master of Music Education, '17
