Testimonials

“I chose RMU particularly because it’s a hybrid program that is created to work with a working professional schedule. I liked that the classes were over Zoom at night so I could still work my job during the day. And the hybrid aspect of it, we were able to meet within our cohort once a year. And so I was excited to still have that in-person aspect but primarily still be able to be a working individual.” 


— Meagan Carper

“The more I looked into the program, I realized that just the overall vibe of the program looked like it was going to be a good match. The faculty seemed to be really engaging. When I did the application interview with the program director and a few of the faculty members, It felt like a very collaborative, comprehensive team that was going to be very supportive of students and understanding of different needs as we are all untraditional students or nontraditional students. We came from different backgrounds, different needs, and different places in our lives. And the faculty was just very supportive of that, even from the entrance interview.”
