Native American Studies at U of MN Digital Campus or UW-Superior Distance Learning
Future Career Plans:
I plan to continue in my current job or a related field. I work as an advocate/liaison for special needs/struggling K-12 students, their families and educators.
UW Colleges Online Education Experience:
I chose online courses because I work full time and live in a rural area of northern Wisconsin. I have totally enjoyed the online classroom experience. I think I interacted more with fellow students and my professors than I might have in the traditional classroom.

UW Colleges Online Education Experience:
Online courses made the difference between me pursuing my degree or not. Without these online classes I don’t think I ever would have gone back. They allowed me the flexibility to attend classes around my children and my family and that is what made the difference.

UW Colleges Online Education Experience:
I chose to get my associate’s degree online because it was a better fit for me. I must admit, it was kind of fun some days to “go to school” in my pjs! Online courses fit my schedule better, and I’m really glad I chose this route to get my associate’s.

I have realized over the past few years that I love traveling. What I'd like to do is travel the world for a few years, teaching English. Someday (while working during the school year as a High School Social Studies teacher) I’d like to own my own business.
UW Colleges Online Education Experience:
I have enjoyed my online experience. It took a lot of discipline to juggle work and full time school, but I loved the flexibility and quality of education that UW Online provided. I was also blessed to be able to travel to Thailand while I completed my last semester of UW Online.
