"The 2+2 program had many benefits for me. I was able to live in my hometown and work full-time while obtaining my bachelor's degree. I had support from not only the program coordinator and the other students in my cohort, but from the teachers as well, who were unbelievably helpful and supportive. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to obtain their bachelor's degree in Elementary Education."

"I chose UNI because of the opportunity to attend from a distance. I want to work somewhere where I will make a difference and be able to express my skills and grow as a person. Attending college and graduating with a bachelor's degree makes these goals more realistic."
Class of 2025, Bachelor of Liberal Studies
Brody Miller
"Being a full-time detention officer and a volunteer firefighter/EMT, trying to find additional time to further my education, in addition to my home life, would be impossible without the online BAS program. This online program allows for you to plan and work towards your degree on your own time, working around daily events/tasks. The UNI Criminal Justice professors focus on finding unique avenues for students to form connections and relationships with their peers through Zoom sessions, group projects, discussion sessions, and the option of reaching out to students directly."
Class of 2023, Criminal Justice BA
