“
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
Master of Music Education

I wanted to get into gifted and creative education, and given my circumstances, I did a lot of research and it took me about four months…it had to be a good program from a good school and it had to be completely online. Fortunately, UGA offered all that.

“
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

“
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.
”
Kali Koppen, Sixth Grade Science Teacher
M.Ed., Reading Education

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.

I couldn’t have done this any other way. It made it possible for me to finish my master’s within a professional setting where I was working nonstop and was under a lot of deadline stress.
”

I get the flexibility of communication and the rigor UGA is known for. This has exceeded my expectations regarding what I expected to learn in my master’s program.
”
Maima Chea, PhD Student, Georgia State University
M.Ed., Reading Ed., '15
“
I chose UGA to achieve my online degree because they offered workforce education, and I wanted to teach high school business classes. There aren’t a lot of schools that offer this program.
”

“
I finally had the option to finish where my journey started ten years ago and graduate from my dream school.
”
Kayleigh Barnes, RN, Northside Hospital Healthcare System

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
“
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.
”
Sarra Sedghi, Freelancer
