Derek Seipp, a graduate of the Human Resources online program, was unsure a nontraditional college experience was the right fit for him, but soon learned otherwise. “When I was working through the course material with a full-time job, it was directly applicable to the work that I was doing, which made the information all the more interesting to me. It gave me a deeper level of learning that really let me connect with my job.”
