Admissions Experience

“The admissions team went above and beyond to help me secure a green light from my school district regarding completing a master’s for salary advancement.

AOEU stuck with me through a multitude of emails [and] phone conversations and even suggested looking at my district’s contract language. Eureka! The contract held the answer I’d hoped for; Master’s of Art Education, here I come!”

– Ellen M., Master’s Degree Alumni
