    Since I am a part of the online program, I rely on a facilitator to answer my questions when I have them. The facilitators are truly the unsung heroes of this program! They do an excellent job of getting back to me quickly, and helping in whatever ways they can!

    I am an online graduate student at Eastern Kentucky University, and I have really enjoyed the learning environment. I am studying my Masters in Occupational Safety, Security, and Emergency Management, and have found the program to be highly informative and helpful. Since I am in online classes, I have noticed that some of the videos/lectures are a bit outdated - they've been using them for about 5 years. However, this is not the case with every class.
    The professors and advisors I encountered at Eastern Kentucky University were wonderful, but the administration of the university left me feeling distressed several times. From missing my financial aid forms to forgetting to tell me I “missed a credit hour” until I was halfway into my first semester of graduate school, I felt a lot of frustration. The student life and community experience I had was wonderful, but logistics got the best of me at times.
