I chose Andrews because I heard of its quality Adventist online education. Student support was very helpful in assisting me and giving me advice so I could complete all my work as a busy pastor. I have learned so much from my classes, and I apply what I have learned to Bible studies, community outreach, and homeless ministry. What I learned at Andrews has empowered me and given me a deeper understanding of Jesus and what He wants us to do.

I chose Andrews Online as an Adventist university helping me prepare for a life of service and for eternity. I could study while being present at home. I could flexibly schedule study around other commitments. The staff and other students at Andrews were a great help to me and I learned much from my classes. My relationship with God has grown stronger, and I share what I have learned with church and community members.

As a busy pastor's wife, Andrews online flexed to fit my schedule and gave me access to an online community to express ideas and learn from each other. I was blessed to have an online advisor who's not only interested in the completion of my degree but in me as a person. To succeed, be invested in your own education, be disciplined, and surround yourself with people who believe in you and encourage you to stick to it. Keep your goal in mind and take advantage of the online support. It made a huge difference for me.

Having attended multiple universities, finding which classes to take to complete a degree that meets my unique goals has been hard. However, with the help of Andrews Online advisors, I was able to create a complex plan, achieve my graduation goals, and get accepted into dental school.

Andrews Online allowed me to be physically present with my family, away from cold winters! Andrews Online study has strengthened my spiritual life and helped me in discussions with people of faith and people without. AU faculty and staff are concerned about our mental health as much as academic success, and mentor us in our relationship with God; they want us to thrive in this world and the world to come.

When looking for a place to complete my bachelor’s degree, a friend recommended Andrews Online. I am so thankful the the credits earned at Andrews many years ago as well as many transfer credits have been included in an individualized degree completion plan. As a full time working mom with two kids, being able to go at my own pace was very important to me. Online classes allow me to study while still being present with my children. The staff at AU online have been very helpful and respond quickly to problems or requests. While studying at AU, I feel supported and heard. The hardest part about studying online has been time management, balancing the demands of school, work and family all at the same time. My experience with Andrews University online has been wonderful every step of the way.

What I really like about Andrews Online is the flexibility. I can start on assignments weeks ahead if needed, and no matter where I am, the helpful AU Online team can be reached. What I've learned in class has improved my everyday life. For example, I've learned how to communicate with people better through my communication and psychology classes. Getting to know and work with other students in online classes has been great. It's very important to me that Andrews integrates faith in all classes and support services.

Andrews Online has afforded me the flexibility to rearrange my schedule to my liking, not the other way around. With all the knowledge I gained in classes, I have begun to teach others. I share what I'm learning with my brother, my pastor, and in Bible studies I give online and at my church. When I educate those around me, I speak confidently because of my Andrews online education.

While pastoring in Jakarta, I am studying part-time. I appreciate that learning hub is available 24/7 and my financial advisor has helped me a lot. The faculty-student seminary forum for international students really brings all the "brotherly love" and support I needed for my study. I have learned that being a leader isn't just about knowing what to do in every situation needed but also how to think, say and act like Jesus Christ our one and only true leader.

I chose Andrews University because my sister lives near campus. When we couldn’t move to the US this year due to coronavirus, I chose to start my studies online. I most appreciate that my teachers are faithful Seventh-day Adventists, who share their faith in God with their students. It’s a great gift to receive encouragements, prayers, and Sabbath greetings from my teachers. Besides that, all student supporters are very helpful, especially my Academic Advisor.

My Andrews experience helped me feel more confident that I can complete a task I started and that part of completing it is to learn from others and let them help you along the way. I have become a more well-rounded person because of the variety of learning activities in the classes I took and the way I was encouraged to approach each of them with an open mind. I am in awe that my graduation is really happening!

Although I was accepted to Adventist universities in other African countries, I was unable to attend due to the government preventing young men from leaving the country. The village where I live and teach is very remote. Even though it was difficult and expensive to travel to use internet, I was very happy to send my assignments and communicate with my teachers via email. Before internet, sometimes books and lessons were lost or confiscated in the mail. After 12 years of studies at a distance, I am so happy to graduate with a BA Theology

The best advice I can give someone considering studying online is to plan out a daily and weekly study schedule and stick to it. Don’t procrastinate when it comes to keeping up with the course assignments or it can become tempting to give up altogether. The professors are excellent—very instructive and helpful. The overall program provides a quality learning environment.

Starting my Andrews program at a distance allowed me to study as I was able to pay. With many courses finished online, I came to complete my degree on campus in one year. This Adventist university is the best with the range of courses and so many qualified lecturers. I studied by God's grace. To me this opportunity was like saying I was lost but now I am found.
