Students Thrive in Online Environment
Jenny had a desire to teach and enrolled in the MAT program.
“I liked the in-person aspect of it while still being able to work while doing the program,” she said. The MAT program includes online and on-campus classes and meets on Saturdays. “I wanted face-to-face. If I’m going to learn a new skill, I want to have face-to-face interaction with professors to learn that skill.”
Jenny appreciates the background her professors bring to the classroom each week. “They’re bringing real-life experience,” she said. “They know what’s actually happening in the classroom.”
