-: My name is Shawnicy Thomas,
and I am a graduate student in the
Ms. Agronomy program through UNF.
The biggest selling point is I needed a program
that was a hundred percent online,
and would be something that would work
around my own schedule.
The program in itself it's been amazing honestly,
I've learned not just, you know,
the topics of each course and the assigned material
the instructors wanted us to learn,
but I learned a lot more about myself
and what I could actually manage.
So I learned a lot about myself that, you know,
I'm capable of pretty great things.
The instructors have done an amazing job adapting
what typically you would see as in person,
you know, materials, classes,
if you have questions, if you have concerns,
if you have needs, wants, or anything,
within I would say 12 to 24 hours they always respond.
It allows you to manage your own time which is amazing.
I'm 35 and then here we are back in school.
So don't think age is a hindrance
to why you can't do this,
let people know you're doing it,
it feels good when you tell somebody,
hey I'm getting a master's degree,
right, it makes you feel really good.
So share it, but then, you know,
get the support and then stick with it
because it's possible
and once you're done it's gonna feel amazing.
Thank you, you have an for offering it online
because that's a life saver for students like myself.
