I am currently going to what was once called Ashford University, which is now called the University of Arizona Global Campus, also known as Forbes School of Business and Technology, working to attain my BA in Marketing. I have completed 9 classes so far and have 29.5 credits out of the 120 I need for my degree. The school is accredited by WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). You can work towards obtaining various degrees ranging anywhere from your Associate’s Degree to a Doctoral Degree all online while still being able to work and take care of your family. The staff that I have interacted with so far along my academic journey have all been very inclusive and have worked with me to help with anything I have needed even before day one. The first point of contact I had was with Ms. Kathryn Wirz. The support I was given was so positive and impactful that I would have to say that I would not be where I am right now without her guidance and encouragement to push me to commit to bettering my life. My advisors and other support staff have been there whenever I have needed additional guidance and the response time has been prompt whenever I have reached out. The professors I have learned from thus far have all been supportive and understanding. I have to say, I completely feel like this school has my best interests in mind and would recommend anyone looking to pursue a higher educational degree to check them out, especially those who have everyday responsibilities that they think may be holding them back from achieving their desired careers.

Students have numerous chances to engage in extracurricular activities. Proficient tutors prioritize ensuring students have a thorough understanding of their programs and are attentive when students seek answers to their queries. The overall ambiance is positive, and based on my own experience, the staff and professors are welcoming to newcomers.
