Professional Arts

I decided to finish my degree at the University of St. Francis at the recommendation of one of my peers who graduated. He was very happy with the service USF provided, and his education has already helped him advance at work. USF offers the ability to complete a degree in a condensed period of time with working a full schedule as well. The staff understands that the adult studies students work full-time jobs. It is evident that in today's marketplace a degree is necessary to advance.

I started by taking classes on campus but as I took on more responsibility at Caterpillar Inc. the travel started to increase as well. The ability to take online courses has given me the flexibility to stay on track to finish my degree. The online classes discuss the material and create discussions but give you the chance to do this from a hotel room or your house. The classwork is not easier but it is more flexible for my schedule. Since USF offers this flexibility in its MBA program as well, I intend to continue on for my masters degree. USF has given me the opportunity to advance my career and maintain a stable home life as well. I look forward to continuing my education at USF.
