"As a student with a full-time work schedule, I believe an online master's program that accommodates a busy work schedule along with other responsibilities makes what seems impossible totally achievable. Not to mention the awesome, reliable professors that I am grateful to have instructed me and guided my thinking into the world of public relations."
