Student Testimonies

Winnie Eng 00
Although Winnie Eng had the wonderful experience of attending Chicago’s public schools, she never seriously considered being a teacher herself.

Kristen Prillwitz 06
Kristen Prillwitz wanted to make a difference. For as long as she could remember, she had wanted to be a teacher.

Susan Baker 09
When choosing an online graduate school last year, Home Depot manager and busy mom Susan Baker knew one thing for sure: she wanted a degree she could be proud of, and she was willing to work hard for it.

Robert Hascall 09
Robert Hascall, busy VP of a Southwestern heating and ventilating company (MSI HVAC) and father of two boys, needed all the down time he could get. But instead, he made the hard decision to go back to school.

Peter Hoh 08
Peter Hoh is almost at the end of a long journey -- to get his Bachelor’s degree. For the past 20-plus years, Peter has tried a number of times to finish his degree. But between various careers he found it impossible to complete. Couple that with a growing family and a work injury that nearly sidelined him into retirement, Peter faced almost overwhelming odds.

Ofer Amrami 08
For Ofer Amrami, a full-time network administrator with the city of Fullerton, California, APU online study provides the flexibility to juggle a job, family, and degree program in Organizational Leadership. "It allows me to get my education, hold a job, and still spend quality time with my family," he said.

Scott Keeton 06
This program fits my schedule, my family, my goals. From the first phone call I made, I knew this place was different. The staff responded to all my questions immediately, never putting me on hold with a promise to get back to me. They even made the financial aid process painless. Most important, the classes don't waste my time. I'm learning relevant skills that I've already put to use at work.

Martha Avina 06
I am finishing my degree because I want to be able to say, "I did it!" And I am doing so at APU because it is more than just a school, it is a family. In addition to the practical skills I am gaining in time and conflict management, I have also gained lifetime relationships with faculty and students. The atmosphere here is comfortable, caring, and perfectly suited to adults re-entering college life.
