“I started at another institution, which was a PhD program. It didn’t quite fit my lifestyle and where I was in life. Then I learned about Maryville’s cohort model — the fact that it was a shorter program, more focused, more intense — and it’s been the best educational experience of my life.”
— Dobbie Herrion, Online EdD Graduate
