    The M.S. in Higher Education Administration here at Marywood University is an amazing program. It is flexible and fully online, which made it possible for me to work while I attended grad school. All of the professors who taught in this program were helpful, willing to work with my often crazy schedule, and always there to listen. I always felt that I had a great support system while attending Marywood, and even though I was an entirely online student, I felt very much connected to my classmates as well as my professors.
