Why did you choose online with UMC? UMC had a program that I was interested in to continue my education. UMC is one of the only schools in the area that offers a variety of online programs. I decided to do online classes so I wouldn't have to commute or move, plus I am able to keep my job!

What have you liked so far about your online experience? I love it! It has been easy! The instructors are great and willing to help out! Just knowing I am getting a better education than I already have is a great experience in itself.

How do you see UMC helping you to reach your goals? If it wasn't for UMC offering the programs online like they do I wouldn't be continuing my education at this time, and probably never would have went back to school in the first place. It has been a blessing.

What have you learned about yourself and your online student experience with UMC? I have learned that I am more diciplined than I first thought. People always told me that you need to be able to work independtly in order for an online class to work, which there is some truth to that. But in the long run I feel that I have been able to keep up my grades and dicipline myself at the same time. I guess it takes good time management and I am working on that daily

What do you plan to do once you graduate and complete your online degree? I plan to find a different job that will let me use the knowledge that I have obtained.
