Points of Pride

“The online portion of it is very convenient because it’s basically when I have time throughout each week. I don’t have to sit down and schedule a lecture at a certain time – it’s when I make time for it. So it is very convenient and ideal for those that want to achieve a degree like this but live in a remote area.”

“As a military spouse, finding opportunities conducive to military life is challenging. With a completely online program, various courses available, and professors and administrators who recognize that every student’s circumstances are unique, I feel confident in my ability to complete my program. Choosing the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee was one of the best decisions I have made for myself, my family, and our future.”
