Sam chose UNA for the experience that comes with his job as a Graduate Assistant for Governmental Relations & Economic Development. This, combined with the education program UNA offers was a huge factor in Sam making his decision to continue his higher education journey. His favorite thing so far has been the flexibility of the program itself, and Sam mentioned how everyone was so helpful. Also, another one of his favorite things is that the program is online and the faculty are experienced in teaching online classes.

“I chose to pursue my master's degree at UNA because I had an excellent experience for my undergraduate career at UNA where I obtained my Bachelor's in Nursing in May 2014. The staff are excellent, very knowledgeable, and always so helpful. They want to see us succeed and that is a really valuable asset to find in your professors. My favorite aspect so far has been our clinical portion. We are in charge of finding our own preceptors to obtain our clinical hours with and mine have been excellent. I have learned so much from them!”

“I chose UNA because it was easily affordable and remotely accessible. I do not have to travel hours to and from an in-person class. My favorite part about the program is how the professors promote a coherent environment that is inclusive to everyone, regardless of work experience and time removed from undergrad. Upon graduation, I plan on acquiring a position in either quality engineering or process engineering in the Northern Alabama area.”
