“I’d never heard of a stackable program before. I always thought that when getting an associate’s degree, or any degree for that matter, that you needed to take classes specific to that degree. I never knew you could combine a technical certificate to work toward an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. I think it’s really beneficial to be able to do that, not only to progress in your degree, but to also feel like your past experience and education is worth something. Some degrees are so rigid and unforgiving when it comes to including credits from other institutions, but this degree is very flexible and appeals to your individual situation really well.”
