Major in Political Science (Bachelor’s)

What drew me to CU Denver's online courses and what continues to draw me is how obtainable the schoolwork is no matter where I am. It provides the flexibility for me to maximize my time at work, do internships, and travel while I also maintain a strong connection to my education. As someone who has also taken a few in-person classes, the workload hardly differs, and professors are just as accessible online as they are in person. Though you could do some of the work at your own leisure, there is still enough structure, so you don't fall victim to procrastination. All in all, I believe anyone can benefit from the online courses at CU Denver, especially if you try to stay busy outside of school!

Taking online courses at CU Denver has been incredibly valuable for me. As a full-time working student, the flexibility of the online format has allowed me to balance my career and education while still engaging deeply with professors and classmates. The courses are well-organized, interactive, and provide the same academic rigor as in-person classes, which has made it possible for me to stay on track toward graduation without compromising my work responsibilities.

I cannot say enough positive things about CU Denver and their online program. The flexibility of CU Denver’s asynchronous courses has been a true game changer. It allows me to complete my work on my own schedule while still being fully present as a mother, wife, and employee. Having the opportunity to earn my degree means everything to me, and I feel grateful every day for CU Denver and the role they’ve played in this journey. There is never a “perfect” time to begin pursuing a degree. Time will pass either way. I am so thankful I took the leap, even during the challenging moments, and continued to move forward. My experience at CU Denver has given me the chance to achieve a dream I once thought was out of reach.
