Sister Elizabeth Youngs: The Ed.D. program is designed for working professionals, for adult students to help them to further their goals in education. 羞羞视频's Ed.D. program is outstanding because of this hybrid possibility. So we've got people from all across the United States, which really adds to the richness and diversity of this program.
00:00:25:00 - 00:00:42:17
Tiffany Bohm: I really do value the fact that pretty much every class is offered in a high flex modality. Last week I attended a class from Denver while I was there for my son's baseball game. And so there's flexibility that I don't, I don't have to completely give up living with my family to be able to, to pursue this dream.
00:00:42:19 - 00:01:17:07
Jordan Davis: I chose to pursue my Ed.D. at the 羞羞视频 for a few reasons. The first reason being that I can attend class remotely. It's not a self-paced, online format. I'm actually attending class live over zoom with my classmates that are actually in person. The second reason was tuition. Compared to other institutions that I considered, the tuition at 羞羞视频's just couldn't be beat. Lastly, I like the way the curriculum is set up. I like the way the classes are set up. I attend one class for eight weeks, and then we move on to the next class. And it's just very convenient for someone like me who works full time and has a family.
00:01:17:09 - 00:01:39:09
Sister Elizabeth Youngs: Another outstanding thing about this is we are working on a cohort model. The cohort model allows us to have a real network of professional support. One of the core guidelines at the 羞羞视频 is community. And the cohort model really supports building community.
00:01:39:11 - 00:01:57:15
Jordan Davis: I have enjoyed all my instructors. I love my cohort members. We are becoming like a family. We talk to each other outside the classroom. We're building bonds, and it's just a great experience. It's just a very family oriented, very focused, group of people who have one mission, which is to pursue higher education and leadership.
00:01:57:17 - 00:02:25:02
Tiffany Bohm: I love that we've got people that are in class, we've got people online. We've got people as far away as California that are in our classes and that brings a much more rich experience to everybody, because none of us have the same experiences, none of us have the same perspectives. We all can, you know, see things just a little bit differently. And, and that's what really makes us better and able to lead people that are different than us.
00:02:25:04 - 00:02:48:03
Sister Elizabeth Youngs: Students should choose 羞羞视频 for their Ed.D. partly because of the history of USM The 羞羞视频 has a long tradition as a teacher of teachers. We're an educational institution. So if you want to be a teacher or you want to work in higher ed, we understand that we've got a long history of doing that.
00:02:48:06 - 00:03:00:18
Jordan Davis: Getting a Ed.D., the Doctor of Education degree, is important to me, as it's the terminal degree that will allow me to take that next step in my career so I can step outside of the clinic more into leadership roles that I aspire to have in my future.
00:03:00:20 - 00:03:34:15
Tiffany Bohm: I think this is an investment in yourself. And I would say just do it. I mean, you have to you have to take that leap. And part of being a leader is sometimes stepping out in unknown territory. And especially part of being an innovative leader is blazing that trail rather than necessarily following where it's always gone. And so if this is is what you want, do it. It's an investment in you, and it's an investment in your future. And and more than that, it's an investment in helping to, transform lives wherever you may end up landing after you finish this degree.
