As a busy adult, how difficult is it to combine a full-time job with my studies?
The majority of learners enrolled in the Department of Graduate Psychology & Counseling Program balance their education with other responsibilities. There are many reasons why the low-residency options work for our learners, but the most prevalent answer seems to be the freedom the educational model allows – you can work on your studies when your schedule allows. It still requires time, commitment, discipline and a passion for what you are studying. It is amazing where time can be found when you are determined, creative, and don’t care what your neighbors think of your unkempt lawn. The payoff is clear, however. In two and a half years you will have an M.A. and potentially a counseling license.
