Why did you choose Siena Heights University's Online Program?

"I was searching for a distance learning program that would allow me to complete my degree from home and work. Working 24 hour shifts on a rotating basis makes attending class in a traditional classroom very difficult. Many of the bachelor degree programs were BA or BS degrees and would have required me to take an additional 50 hours of general education to complete the degree program. SHU allowed me to double major and only take the 30 hours of upper-level courses to complete the program. This allowed me to complete the program quickly and save a large amount of money."
