More than a Degree: Communication Graduate Testimonial
Maggie Cunningham earned more than a degree at UofL
By earning her Bachelor of Science in Communication with University of Louisville, Maggie gained a newfound confidence in herself, all thanks to a 100% online education that allowed her to play on her strengths and advance her future.
When Maggie decided to go back to school, a traditional classroom setting didn’t seem like the right fit for her. Previously attended and then withdrawn from an on-campus program at another university, she decided to explore online learning options with the University of Louisville–which turned out to be perfect for her and her situation.
With UofL’s online bachelor’s in Communication program, Maggie received the same education as any traditional student while maintaining the full-time job she was working to pay for classes. More notably, she found herself empowered by the online learning environment to overcome her social anxiety and more successfully interact with classmates and teachers.
“I felt like I needed [a degree] to be who I was.”
Through her education with UofL, Maggie embarked down not only an educational path but also a road to self-discovery. She learned more about herself, and emphasizes that earning her degree online with UofL helped her become the person she is today.
Since graduating, Maggie has gone on to land jobs in marketing and social media copywriting.
The Bachelor of Science in Communication degree at UofL is designed to build expertise around various communication strategies, cultures, channels and media types. Ultimately, the degree prepares students for careers in various fields including communications, marketing, advertising, broadcasting, journalism and public relations.
UofL also offers a Bachelor of Arts in Communication, which requires more liberal arts credits and excludes the internship portion.
Covering many different industries and careers, UofL Online offers a wide variety of 100% online degree and certificate programs–all of which deliver quality online education to non-traditional students who are not able to come to a physical campus and want to earn a college degree or certificate to start or advance their career.
Maggie went back to school to fill a void and feel more confident about herself.
