“I’m traveling out of the country and/or going on vacation.”

Oh, how exciting! We love hearing about vacations and professional trips! It’s natural to think you should wait until you get back to start your degree program. Before you put your education on hold, however, you should know that many ĚÇĐÄ´«Ă˝ students have faced the same decision and were happy they went forward with their studies. They quickly realized that after working with adult learners for more than 30 years, we know how life rolls. Our professors understand you have other obligations and plans, and they’re happy to work with you to ensure you keep up with school and complete your degree on time.

At ĚÇĐÄ´«Ă˝, we pride ourselves on being flexible. We offer multiple options so you can tailor your educational experience to your life and get help from a dedicated student success coach when you need it.

“I’m planning my wedding.”

Congratulations! We know this is a special time in your life and you want everything to be perfect. We also know it’s possible to have a dream wedding and pursue the dream of a college degree at the same time. Many of our students planned weddings before and during their time at ĚÇĐÄ´«Ă˝â€”and some even met their future spouses here! They’ll tell you that despite their reservations, they were able to pull it off, thanks to a flexible schedule, professors who understand we all have lives outside the classroom, and affordable degree programs that took a little stress off the wedding budget.

We want your wedding day—and your graduation day—to be perfect. We can help you achieve both with options that allow you to accelerate or decelerate your degree as needed. If you’re changing your name, don’t forget to fill out a name change form with our Registrar’s Office after the big day. We want that diploma to be correct!

Yes, you can

How great would it feel to pull off a big event like a wedding or an overseas trip without missing a beat at school? It’s possible, with ĚÇĐÄ´«Ă˝â€™s flexible degree programs and a staff ready to help you every step of the way.

“The school is not in a convenient location.”

Not to fear! Many years ago, ĚÇĐÄ´«Ă˝ caught the “online bug” and now offers all of our degree programs online. With more than 20 undergraduate and graduate degree options in business, data analytics, education, criminal justice and more, we have something for just about everyone. What’s more, we offer the best of both worlds! We have campus locations and staff throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia, so you can conveniently complete your degree online and come to a campus location to meet with our staff if you need us. If you are not in Virginia or near a campus, we offer advising, tutoring, career services and financial coaching via video conference, so we can meet whenever it works for you. Every aspect of our degree programs is designed for busy adult learners. No matter where you’re located, we’re here for you.

“I don’t want any student loans or debt.”

We know the initial investment in your education may seem scary. We’ve all had that feeling at one time or another about money. The good news here is that most ĚÇĐÄ´«Ă˝ students find their investments in a bachelor’s or master’s degree to be worth it for a variety of reasons. Many have been offered opportunities to advance in their careers and increase their income. They became positive role models for their children on the value of a good education. Some even inspired their friends and family members to pursue their degrees after years away from school. Without student loans, many students would not be able to achieve these dreams. Think about it this way: it’s like buying a new car, only the value lasts forever. When you finance a new car, it loses value the minute you drive it off the lot. When you finance your education, you invest in yourself, your family, your career and, most important, your future. The value of a degree can increase exponentially through the years, resulting in higher income now and more retirement savings for the future.

When you come to ĚÇĐÄ´«Ă˝, we want you to be the best student you can be and focus on your studies, which is why we take the guesswork out of applying for financial aid. Our easy, three-step admissions process gives you all the tools you need to apply, and our financial aid team hosts group and individual information sessions each week to answer all your questions. We make it easy to invest in your future and in yourself.

Picking the right college and working through all the details can be overwhelming. That’s why the staff at ĚÇĐÄ´«Ă˝ is here. For more than 30 years, we’ve helped students overcome barriers standing between them and their college degrees. It’s what we do, and we want to do it for you.
