What They're Saying...

"The virtual world of learning requires discipline and a great deal of hard work. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have had a conversation about how learning online is just as challenging, if not more challenging, than being in a traditional classroom. With that being said, virtual learning has allowed me the flexibility, as an adult learner, to hold a full-time job and go to school at the same time." -Sophie Wanamaker, Plainfield, IL, virtual major
