Compared to a brick and mortar, the professors are more open and I was able to learn better from them. The online community is what kept me going. I think this is the first time in my life that I can say I am proud of myself.

The Ed.D. program at UMass Global changed my life. I had access to some of the most amazing professors and faculty I've ever had the privilege of working with. From the very first course to the dissertation defense, this program truly transformed my life both personally and professionally. I highly recommend the Ed.D. program for anyone passionate about transformational leadership within any sector of society.
