The flexibility of learning at my own pace, coupled with the high-quality content, has allowed me to tailor my educational journey to my specific needs. It's more than just an online learning platform; it's a dynamic and engaging community that fosters collaboration and shared learning experiences.

I have always dreamt of having a degree on my wall. My son is grown and making his way in the world. Therefore, I had nothing to hold me back from finally going after the one thing in life that I have never was able to accomplish due to marriage, family and life. Now I am working two jobs and going to school, and Sophia has made that transition so easy for me. Without Sophia, I think I may have gotten discouraged and quit. But with the self-paced classes, I was able to slowly able to get into a learning routine.

My education journey has been wonderful. I have been able to go at my own pace and accomplish things I didn’t know that I could do. Sophia has been a phenomenal resource and I’m so thankful. Sophia has been the biggest provider of lower-level credits for my degree. Excelsior University is partnered with Sophia and willing to accept many of their credits. This journey has been fantastic and I can’t wait to see where I go from here! With prayer and encouragement from family, I have been able to persevere and make it through any barrier. I look forward to continuing to work with Sophia in the future
