After recently completing my graduate studies in Educational Psychology, it was time to reflect and plan toward my future in teaching that had seemed only a dream just a few short years ago. For me, the online undergraduate coursework and instructors at Brescia provided the perfect learning opportunity and preparation for my recent academic successes. The online academic structure at Brescia provided the right levels of flexibility to overcome the challenges of balancing a full-time job, family and school in making my dream of a new career become a reality. If anyone is considering returning to school, the “Brescia Experience” is one that offers a friendly and supportive faculty with proven successes in delivering a life-changing learning experience second to none.

I enrolled in Brescia University online after taking many years off of school. I was worried about going back to school, and had heard online college courses and professors could be difficult. All of my worries were put to ease once I attended my first class. The classes are easy to access, and all the assignments are clearly laid out in advance. The professors are great, they are knowledgeable and have to teach a lot of information, but are fair about expectations. I can even interact with the professor and other students in chat during class. I am really enjoying the entire setup of BUonline.

The academic preparation I have received from Brescia University has been instrumental in enabling me to fulfill my vocation to serve the Church as a Lay Ecclesial Minister. Brescia has provided me with a strong foundation in Theology, helping me grow in my faith life, as well as my professional life. The online classes have given me the flexibility needed to obtain my degree completely online while working full time. I am grateful for all of the support I have been given by my academic advisors who helped by listening and guiding me to successful completion of my degree in Theology.

I cannot put into words the range of emotions I felt Friday and Saturday [at graduation]. Meeting [Eva Atkinson], Rachel Besing and Vickie Will along with my fellow [classmate] Rachel made an already amazing experience something I will recall as a favorite lifetime event. Even as I am writing this I feel I am falling short putting this into words. As an online student, everyone made me feel like I had been on campus for four years and built meaningful academic relationships. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

As an online student, I cannot say enough about all of the teachers that I have encountered. They are dedicated, they care and they are supportive. If I absolutely had to pick one professor, it would have to be Tim Nugent. He had such an impact on me that I will never forget. I hope to be half the Social Worker that he displays as a professor in my future profession. His experience, patience and genuine care for his students is very apparent. It was a privilege getting to meet him. Thank you for the opportunity to make my dreams come true Brescia!

In my experience, online classes have always given me a feeling of taking classes with my family. I say this because the sizes of the classes are smaller [and] you get to know your classmates and build emotional connections with them.

I was able to use my husband's GI Bill to attend Brescia. Brescia is very military friendly.
