I’m balancing my schedule with my kids and working and also my classes. It’s definitely been a learning experience because it was not something I had to deal with my first round of college. The option to have online classes is definitely what drew me to continue with the program here, but it also gives me a chance to be more vocal, I guess, with my own experiences and my own opinions because it’s through an online forum, and I don’t feel as shy.
For related programs of study at Great Falls College, see the 2+2 Bachelor of Social Work transfer path.
