Hi friends! I’m about a month into my
very first Master’s class at the University
of West Alabama online, and I thought I would pop in and give y’all a
little update on how everything is going. You can check out my first post here.

Now,
the entire class is online (in fact, the entire Master’s program is
online!) and to be honest, I was a bit intimidated by that. I took online
classes when I got my undergrad, but we would have weekly or monthly meetings
so you could check in and make sure you were understanding everything. This is
completely online, which can be a little terrifying, but let me tell you: it’s
SO not scary! The professor that is teaching the class that I’m taking is super
helpful and always available to answer questions. He posted an intro video and
explained the basics of the class and when everything was due. I cannot tell
you have helpful that was!

My
weekly assignments are always due on Sunday night, which is convenient. I never
forget since it’s always on the same day. In addition to the assignment, we
also have to answer a discussion question in the discussion board and respond
to our classmates’ answers.

Another
part about UWA online that I like is how they check in on you. When you are
admitted into the program, you are given an academic counselor and your
counselor calls and emails weekly to make sure you are staying on track and not
having any difficulties. That is so helpful when your entire degree is online!

A lot
of y’all have
messaged me about wanting to go back and get your Master’s degree. I would
HIGHLY recommend the online program at the University of West Alabama. You can
check out the different kinds of Master’s degree programs they have to offer here.

This is great! I did my Master's online as well through Univ. Southern California and LOVED it! It was such a great experience because there were people from all over the US in my cohort. This gave us a broader perspective and inside look into schools across the country and world which I found to be super helpful and insightful! Excited for you!
