Institutional Accreditation
Institutional accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) means your degree comes from a top-quality, trusted university.
I was a single mom, working full-time with a four-hour daily commute, and I was freelancing as a ghost writer. Needless to say, earning my degree was tough! There were times that I didn't think I would make it, but after 2.5 years, I did it! I graduated with my Master's in Information Technology Management with a dual specialization in Accounting and Cyber Security. If I could do it, anyone can!
