Full time worker, wife and mother = Full time life!
Full time MSSW student too? Why not!

The online program at U of L — the Master of Social Work degree – allowed me to say “yes!” to all of these. I had a hectic schedule, but the online classes enabled me to do school work around my schedule. I found a new strength and motivation to get my master’s degree and fulfill my passion for helping others improve their lives.

The classes are engaging and the professors are responsive. As a seasoned online student, who also takes some classes on campus, I can say this program really helped me to develop my future career goals, further my interest in social work and achieve a 4.0 GPA my first year of graduate school.

I couldn’t be any prouder of my choice and of all my achievements so far. It’s definitely a great sign for the wonderful things to come.

As my time as a full time mom came to an end, I began to start thinking about what the next season of life would hold for me. I came across the Kent School of Social Work’s online program at the University of Louisville. I felt it was a perfect fit for me and my career goals.

It has enabled me to have the flexibility I need to continue to care for my family, but also to effectively work toward my master’s degree in social work. Every professor and administrator I have encountered has been willing to provide whatever help and support I needed.

I am confident in the knowledge and skills I have developed so far as the course work has been appropriately challenging and has prepared me for a successful new career.

I am proud to be a Kent School student in the Master of Science in Social Work online program at UofL. Go Cards!!
