Diana Atkins - Educational Administration (MPA)

I chose the MPA-WebPlus Program at UM-Flint not only for the outstanding program, but because my interactions with the faculty and staff made me feel as though I was not only a number, but a valued student.  They took the time to answer all of my questions and described the best options for me to complete my degree in a timely manner.
 
I found the quality of education at UM-Flint to be top-notch. It was very beneficial to be in classes with colleagues who could relate to the daily operations of a school.  The courses allowed me to work at my own pace while balancing work and family.
 
I wanted to receive a graduate degree, however I did not want to be tied to a specific area.  The MPA degree opened doors for me as an educational administrator, but also offers flexibility should I choose another field in the future.
