What to Expect

“I had decided to change careers, and I had a master’s degree in one field, but I realized I needed to expand my knowledge if I really wanted to make this change. I chose Western New England because they had the online program, which was really helpful for me because I could keep my full-time job while continuing with my degree in the evenings and at my own pace.”–Ellen Ferris G’22
