"The big plus of earning my degree was that I could do it online on my own time around work and family life. After earning my first degree I was encouraged to earn another one which I also accomplished through 51²è¹Ýkron Online."

“I received my bachelor's degree from The University of Akron and am now back for a master's degree. I have taken online classes almost every year at the University of Akron. Online classes make it easy to get the credits you need while being able to fit the course into your schedule. Online classes seem like they can be confusing and harder, but they are just the same as in person! Online professors are still there to help with whatever you need. An online class can be time consuming, but typically you can work at your own pace. You can also rewatch lectures and view PowerPoints as many times as you want if you need to review something again, which is a nice perk!”

Arts Administration Master's Program*

(*This major requires both online and in-person coursework.)

“I am a 45-year-old returning to school and I'm employed full-time. I chose this specific program for the flexibility I needed to work at my own pace at home. I have a very busy lifestyle with work, kids and managing a home. Honestly, all of my online teachers have been absolutely amazing with me—there’s not been a bad experience! Even though you are in a completely different setting, all my professors have been more than willing to help in any way they could.”
