TESTIMONIALS Brianna Herold “The program has taught me to increase my empathy skills and effectively engage with the mental health community. It has given me access to face-to-face experiences that have been very helpful. These experiences have definitely increased my knowledge base. ”

TESTIMONIALS Breanne Lundgren “I have found the professors to be understanding of all that we have going on in our lives. The class is made up of a diverse age range, which leads to meaningful discussions. As a working professional, I am able to balance work, school and life and the professors are invested in helping me do that. What we learn in class we are able to actually apply in the real world and that means a lot to me. ”

TESTIMONIALS Ebonee Goode “My experience in the Charlottesville cohort has been inspiring. I have really appreciated the convenience of having classes here in Charlottesville and the closeness of the group since we started and are completing the program together.

TESTIMONIALS Ian Walker “This program allows me to work in a career path I want while also exploring new opportunities. ”

TESTIMONIALS Amy Ligon “The transition from undergraduate to graduate school was very smooth. ”

TESTIMONIALS Natalie (Ali) Mitchell “As a Longwood undergrad and social work major, I enjoyed the smooth transition into this program. It was also great to have familiar faces in the program. ”

TESTIMONIALS Patrick Mc. Adams “Although I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted to do at graduation, I knew I wanted to do a master’s program. Kat [Mc. Cleskey] and Kevin [Doyle] have worked with me from the very beginning and it’s been the best feeling to be so supported by them. When making my decision, I didn’t want to do anything online because I felt that format wouldn’t work for me, personally. . . Although there's a physical campus, it has been convenient for me to come to this [Charlottesville] location. The flexibility has been invaluable to me. ”

TESTIMONIALS Stuart Gunter “ 1. The dialog that occurs in class — you can't get that online. 2. The professors in this program have passion to see us incorporate what we learn in real, tangible ways. They truly want us to succeed. ”
