I started at the University of Wyoming with an associate's degree in-hand. What made
UW appealing was the fact that I was able to get my bachelor's degree through their
online education program. Had any in-person classes been required, I wouldn't have
been able to attend UW primarily because I'm a mother of two, married, and have a
full-time job in law enforcement in another town/county; traveling 2-3 hours for classes
was not going to work. The online education program has been easy to manage; the website
is easy to navigate, the instructors are very good at communicating the assignments
and what is expected, and I was able to do the assignments at my own pace. That's
the benefit of the online education program at UW, plus I've met some awesome instructors
along the way that I've kept in contact with. Without the online education program
at UW I wouldn't be able to graduate this Spring with my bachelor's degree. Having
a degree from UW will help me in my career when being looked at for promotions. In
law enforcement, you never stop learning and my education is something that can never
be taken from me. Without UW's online education program, it wouldn't have been possible
to get where I am.

The Criminal Justice Distance Program at the University of Wyoming has helped me move
one step closer to pursuing my career goals through flexibility and stimulation by
linking my community college experience perfectly to my university experience. I really
appreciated how easy it was to smoothly transfer into the learning atmosphere that
the University of Wyoming offers.
