Why did you choose to attend UT Tyler?

I chose to attend UT Tyler because it offered a fully online program that worked with maintaining my career as a teacher.

What are your career goals and how does your graduate program support them?

Upon graduation I would like to transition into full time diagnostician work. The masters program has given me the tools and knowledge to go out into the work field with confidence.

What do you like most about UT Tyler?

I like that I have been able to be in contact with my online professors. I was worried that since my degree was fully online I would have no human contact. I am glad to say I know all my professors and they have all been so supportive of me!
