Choosing an online program allowed me to both have a family and get real-life work experience while obtaining a degree in my field. ... I could not think of a better place I could have completed my undergraduate education.

I’m a little bit of an education snob, and I didn’t want to just go to any school that offered online classes. I wanted it to be reputable. I wanted to be able to say "My Master’s is from the University of Georgia".

Master of Education in Reading Education
“
The course work from the program catapulted my recovery and I am at a place my doctors never thought I would be able to achieve. This program returned me to the life I had. I never thought I would be here. Dr. Carlson changed my life in a way she probably never even could consider was possible.

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.
