“I chose the online program because it was a way for me to get an affordable, accredited Social Work education without having to uproot my life and move away from home before I was ready.”–Gabby Depalo, Nashville
“I chose the online program after years of dropping out of college. It felt out of place to go in person, and working full-time. I didn’t think college was an option for me to complete until I came across this program. I was intrigued by the flexibility and through this program our online cohort has become family, we are constantly in communication about everything and it’s been the best support for me.” –Averie Manglos, Nashville
“I chose the online program because of its flexibility. I am a wife, mother of two, full-time employee, mentor, and a full-time student. Because of this, I never saw myself obtaining a Bachelor’s degree. The structure that most universities require would not allow me to be the best me while completing my education. The flexibility of this program has allowed me to enjoy my kid’s extra-curricular activities and still provide for my family. Once enrolled into the program, I received an abundance of support from my CSW professors and the administration. Their persistence, knowledge, and faith in me has helped to mold me into the person that I want to be. -Allison P. Larsen, Knoxville
“I chose the online program so I could have the freedom to go to a great school and live far away from campus.”
