“Being a #singleparent, sometimes you have to sacrifice what will you give up and what will you continue in while raising a child. A lot of times I had to put my education on the back burner…but since coming on board as an employee and then having the opportunity to further my education, I’ve been able to complete my #degree and I’m looking forward to what’s coming next.” #peopleofexcelsior #excelsiorproud

“During our training at Excelsior College, we learned the Bachelors of Science in Liberal Arts program is our most flexible bachelor’s degree program and accepts the most credits. When I heard that I was like, ‘BINGO! That’s what I’m going for.’ I’ve been working on my bachelor’s for a while and I just wanted to get it done.” #Peopleofexcelsior #excelsiorproud
