Joining the UWF Online certificate program was one of the best things I could have done for both my personal and professional development. My writing skills have wildly grown since joining the program, and it has become not only a point of pride, but also something that has carried me further in my career than I had previously pictured.
The University of West Florida Online program has given me the opportunity to continue my education while balancing my career and family. I completed my master’s degree in Educational Leadership through UWF Online in May 2026. I had such a positive experience with the online program that I decided to return to UWF to pursue my doctorate in the same format.
Although I live 800 miles away from the UWF campus, I am so proud to be an Argo! I chose UWF because they support military members and military spouses (like me). I love that I am able to pursue my education degree, and I hope to become a Florida certified teacher.
Being an online student at UWF has been nothing less than a stellar experience. As a non-traditional student, being online offers a lot of flexibility for how I balance my career, studies and family life. Now that two of my children are attending UWF, it’s more than just a school; it’s a family tradition.
One of the greatest benefits of UWF Online was being able to apply what I learned immediately to real-life challenges in my career. The program’s applied approach and flexibility allowed me to continue working full-time while building skills in analyzing learning and performance needs, designing effective solutions, and evaluating their impact.
