Military Education Programs Student Profile:
"The experience at Wayland helped me make my main dream a reality by having the correct courses of study that I needed to achieve my dream," he said. "Wayland also helped by being adaptable to the military way of life to support me as a military student, like being understanding when I deployed, being flexible when I had a TDY or military exercise commitment that I couldn't break."
"(The degree) has given me a sense of achievement that I'd never known. To be a college graduate in itself proved to me that I was smart enough and patient and persistent enough to be successful. It also encouraged me to go for my master's degree," he said. "My Wayland experience has helped me be a better manager, a better student, and along the theme of a Christian college, to have a better relationship with God, my family, and my friends."
