UB provided the courses and structured classes that my family was looking for in a program that best fit our needs.

We chose the University of Bridgeport IDEAL Program because it was a great fit for our schedule as individuals who work full-time and a stay at home mom.

The IDEAL program is preparing me to make a difference in society.

Someone said to me a long time ago either you are a part of the problem or you are a part of the solution.

Working full time, being a full time mom, and going to school is challenging but I believe the key to success is education.

I embrace the challenge so that my children can follow in my footsteps.

I wanted to pursue my degree as a personal accomplishment. I also wanted to set an example for my children and grandchildren.

Through the support of the IDEAL Program and my hard work, I obtained my degree: Bachelor’s of Science in Human Services.

With any opportunity a great responsibility follows.

My responsibility was to fulfill this opportunity by graduating and carrying the message that anyone can go back to school and succeed.

I periodically reflected on my own dreams of returning to school, and to ultimately receive my law degree. One day that reflection motivated me to take the steps to return to school.

I was looking for a good school that promoted integrity and flexibility and UB has both of these qualities.

This program fits me like a glove. From the first day I walked on the IDEAL campus in Waterbury, I knew this was it.

The instructors relate their work experiences to students and it makes class feel like the real situation.

I would tell every working adult who is wanting to complete their degree it’s not too late with the IDEAL program.
